    Product Description

    Chloramphenicol acetate is an acetylated and inactive version of chloramphenicol.1 It is formed in E. coli and S. aureus by the inducible enzyme chloramphenicol acetyltransferase in the presence of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA; Item No. 16160) to confer chloramphenicol resistance. Chloramphenicol acetate has no antibiotic activity against S. sonnei in a turbidimetric assay.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
