Product Description

Chloramphenicol Supplement is an antimicrobial supplement used in microbiological media to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination.
This supplement is manufactured using chloramphenicol, an antibiotic that stops protein synthesis via binding to the bacterial ribosome and disrupting the formation of undesired microbial flora.
It is also widely used in the culture media of fungi and some Gram-negative bacteria, selectively preventing the proliferation of Gram-positive bacteria and other contaminant organisms.
The medium dishes described below are essential for researchers and clinical laboratories which perform microbial analyses, as they result in a more accurate and efficient growth of microorganism isolates by minimising the presence of interfering non-target bacteria.
The product is typically available in a powder or liquid form and can be added to the culture media to achieve the desired concentration of antimicrobial effectiveness.
Useful in Microbiological Procedures. For general laboratory use and in the preparation of culture media in microbiology applications.

 

Key Features

– **Antibiotic Broad Spectrum:** This antibiotic effectively suppresses a variety of bacteria as well as some fungi to provide selective culture conditions.
– **Advancing Microbe Isolation:** Excellent for differential testing for microbiology and clinical microbiology testing.
– **Application:** Suitable for various medium types, including solid agar, liquid broth, and selective culture systems.
– **Low Use Rate:** The use of Chloramphenicol Supplements is at low concentrations to prevent toxicity and maintain antibacterial activity.
– **For Diagnostic & Research Labs:** Enables the isolation of target microorganisms from mixed populations without the burden of tedious purification steps.

 

Principle of Action

Chloramphenicol exerts its action by binding to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, thereby preventing the interaction of amino-acyl tRNA with the end of the peptide chain,
which ultimately leads to the inhibition of protein synthesis. It inhibits the peptidyl transferase activity of the bacterial ribosome, which is essential in peptide linkage formation during protein synthesis,
thereby halting bacterial growth. The reverse is exceptionally efficient in Gram-positive bacteria, thus potentially suitable for selective inhibition in the laboratory.

 

Applications

– **Microbiology:** Chloramphenicol Supplement is used in culture media to suppress the growth of undesirable bacteria, thereby permitting the selective isolation and enumeration of the target organism.
– **Clinical Diagnostics:** Ability to isolate individual bacteria from clinical samples, even when mixed cultures are present.
– **Environmental Microbiology:** Used to selectively isolate microorganisms from environmental samples, such as water, soil, and air, where there may be contamination which would inhibit the growth of the bacteria of interest.
– **Teaching & Learning:** Widely used in microbiological teaching to display the growth features of specific microorganisms or to demonstrate the action of antibiotics on bacterial cultures.
