BeschreibungCarbenicillin is a broad-spectrum carboxypenicillin antibiotic. It is active against Gram-negative and certain Gram-positive bacteria, including S. pyogenes, S. epidermidis, P. mirabilis, P. vulgaris, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa (MICs = 0.19, 1.56, 1.56, 3.12, 3.12, and 50 μg/ml, respectively). It is also active against penicillinase-producing and non-producing strains of S. aureus (MICs = 1.56 and 12.5 μg/ml, respectively). Carbenicillin is protective against systemic S. pyogenes, P. vulgaris, E. coli, and S. aureus infection in a mouse model of systemic lethal infection with 50% protective dose (PD50) values of 7.8, 224, 19.3, and 34 mg/kg, respectively. It also decreases viable colony counts in the kidney in a rat model of P. vulgaris or E. coli urinary tract infection when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg. Formulations containing carbenicillin have previously been used in the treatment of upper and lower urinary tract infections and prostatitis.

VerwendenCarbenicillin disodium salt is a water-soluble antibiotic which is effective against gram-negative bacteria.Carbenicillin disodium salt is widely utilized as an antibiotic which is used to control bacterial cell-wall synthesis by inactivating transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane. It has been involved in the study of the role of penicillin-sensitive transpeptidases in cell wall biosynthesis.
