Oxytetracycline hydrochloride
Oxytetracycline hydrochloride (CAS: 2058-46-0), with the molecular formula C22H24N2O9 · HCl and a molecular weight of 496.89 g/mol, is a crystalline yellow antibiotic derived from *Streptomyces rimosus*. It functions by interfering with protein synthesis. This compound is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by various Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. It is also utilised in scientific research for studies related to antibiotic resistance and phagosome-lysosome fusion.
Treatment of Bacterial Infections
Oxytetracycline hydrochloride is an antibiotic effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including *Mycoplasma pneumoniae*, *Pasteurella pestis*, *Escherichia coli*, *Haemophilus influenzae*, and *Diplococcus pneumoniae*.
Research into Antibiotic Resistance
Utilised in scientific studies to investigate antibiotic resistance mechanisms, such as research involving the oxytetracycline-resistance gene (otrA).
Cell Biology Research
Applied in laboratory settings to study cellular processes, including the fusion of phagosome-lysosome (P-L) in cell lines like P388D1.
Microbiology Susceptibility Testing
Employed in research to assess antibiotic susceptibility profiles of various microbial isolates, for example, *Mycoplasma bovis*.
