Nalidixic acid (Standard)
Product Specifications
UNSPSC Description
Nalidixic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Nalidixic acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Nalidixic acid, a quinolone antibiotic, is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Nalidixic acid acts in a bacteriostatic manner in lower concentrations and is bactericidal in higher concentrations. Nalidixic acid inhibits a subunit of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV and reversibly blocks DNA replication in susceptible bacteria[1].
