Melford Ceftriaxone Disodium Salt Hemi

Description

Ceftriaxone Disodium Salt is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. The hemi (heptahydrate) form indicates the presence of water molecules in the crystal structure.

Ceftriaxone inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), enzymes involved in the final stages of peptidoglycan synthesis. This interference leads to structural instability and eventual cell lysis. Broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. May be used in microbiology research and studies focusing on antibacterial agents. Its inclusion in culture media can help selectively isolate bacteria that are susceptible to this antibiotic.
