About Ceftazidime Pentahydrate
Ceftazidime pentahydrate is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It has been used to study the penicillin binding proteins, especially PBP3.
It has also been used as a selection tool for mutant colonies. Ceftazidime targets gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and is less effective against gram-positive cocci. It is soluble in acidic and alkali solvents.
