Ampicillin Sodium salt is an antibiotic in the broad-spectrum penicillin group. Ampicillin differs from penicillin only by the presence of an amino group, which facilitates penetration through the outer membrane of some gram-negative bacteria. Ampicillin acts by interfering directly with the turnover of the bacterial cell wall and indirectly by triggering the release of enzymes that further alter the cell wall.
Ampicillin is an antibiotic used to inhibit cell wall biosynthesis by interrupting peptidogly can cross-linking. Ampicillin can be used in cell culture applications.
Ampicillin Sodium Salt is in powder form which makes it an economical choice that can be used in a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative infections.

Ampicillin Sodium is the sodium salt form of ampicillin, a broad-spectrum semisynthetic derivative of aminopenicillin. Ampicillin sodium inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding proteins, thereby inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis, a critical component of the bacterial cell wall.
