Applications
Ampicillin, which is a semi-synthetic derivative of penicillin, inhibits cell wall synthesis (peptidoglycan crosslinking) by inactivating transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. 2,3 Cleavage of the β-lactam ring of ampicillin by β-lactamase results in bacterial resistance to this antibiotic.
Recommendation
The recommended concentration for antibacterial use in culture media is ~100 µg/mL (a 1000-fold dilution of the product). The recommended concentration for use in ampicillin resistance studies is 20–125 µg/mL.
