Description
Carbenicillin is an ampicillin analogue that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, and is commonly used in place of ampicillin to reduce the production of satellite colonies. Carbenicillin is more stable than ampicillin at low pH, which usually arises during bacterial fermentation. Carbenicillin resistance is mediated by cleavage of the ß-lactam ring by ß-lactamase (bla gene).
