Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Cellocidin is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. It primarily targets Gram-positive bacteria by interfering with peptidoglycan cross-linking, though some efficacy against Gram-negative species has been reported. Due to its potent bactericidal activity, it has been explored for use in treating resistant bacterial infections.
