Descrição

Mecillinam is a beta-lactam antibiotic specifically designed for use in culture media. It is derived from the amidinopenicillin family, featuring a unique ability to interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis. Its mode of action involves inhibiting penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2), an essential enzyme for cell wall elongation and maintenance in Gram-negative bacteria. This targeted inhibition results in the formation of spherical cells and subsequent cell lysis.
