Cloxacillin sodium salt

CAS 642-78-4C19H17ClN3NaO5SBiochemicals & Reagents

Cloxacillin sodium salt (CAS 642-78-4, C19H17ClN3NaO5S, MW: 457.86) is a semisynthetic penicillinase-resistant antibacterial agent. It is primarily used to combat staphylococci strains that produce beta-lactamase, an enzyme conferring resistance to other penicillins. This compound is also utilised in research to investigate factors influencing antibiotic effectiveness, such as pH levels and the impact of various stress conditions on bacterial susceptibility.

01 /Applications

Research into Antibiotic Efficacy

Used in laboratory settings to study the influence of environmental factors like pH on the effectiveness of antibiotics. It helps researchers understand how variables can alter the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents.

Investigation of Bacterial Stress Responses

Applied in studies examining the effects of oxgall, acid, and hydrogen peroxide on the susceptibility of specific bacterial species, such as Bifidobacteria. This aids in understanding bacterial resilience mechanisms.

Antibacterial Agent Against Beta-Lactamase Producing Bacteria

Serves as a potent antibacterial agent effective against Staphylococcus strains that are resistant to other forms of penicillin due to their production of beta-lactamase enzymes.
