Biochem/physiol Actions

Carbenicillin is an ampicillin analog with structure related to benzyl penicillin. It is effective against Gram-negative bacteria and exhibits limited activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Carbenicillin binds and inhibits the enzymes involved in the synthesis of bacterial cell wall. Since carbenicillin is less sensitive to β-lactamases than ampicillin, it is effective against ampicillin-resistant bacteria. It has superior stability at low pH and acts as a selection agent. Effective concentration of carbenicillin: 50 to 100 μg/ml.

We investigated biofilms of two pathogens, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus, to characterize mechanisms by which the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) found in biofilms can protect bacteria against tobramycin exposure. To do so, it is critical to study EPS-antibiotic interactions
