    Oxytetracycline Dihydrate

    ฿3,151.50 - ฿15,299.10

    Oxytetracycline was the second discovered tetracycline antibiotic.

    TOKU-E offers two forms of oxytetracycline: Oxytetracycline Dihydrate (O003) and Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride (O004). Oxytetracycline dihydrate is sparingly soluble in aqueous solution at 0.6 mg/mL. Oxytetracycline HCl is slightly soluble in aqueous solution at 6.9 mg/mL.

    Mechanism of ActionThe mechanism of oxytetracycline involves diffusing through a cell and binding to the 30s ribosomal subunit preventing peptide elongation and ultimately inhibiting protein synthesis. Resistance to oxytetracycline can be a result of inactivation by cell enzymes or pumping the antibiotic out of the cell upon entering.
    SpectrumOxytetracycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic which targets gram positive and gram negative species as well as a few Mycoplasma species.
    Microbiology ApplicationsOxytetracycline is commonly used in clinical in vitromicrobiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against gram positive, gram negative, and Mycoplasma microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options for infected patients. Representative MIC values include:

    • Haemophilus influenzae 1.6 µg/mL – 6.3 µg/mL
    • Mycoplasma bovis 0.12 µg/mL - 4 µg/mL

    Media Supplement

    Oxytetracycline is used as a selective agent in OGYE, a selective media for yeasts and molds.

    Plant Biology ApplicationsOxytetracycline has been used to prevent fire blight in apple and pears in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. In a study by Hubbard et al. (2011), oxytetracycline was shown to be a better alternative to streptomycin to inhibit fire blight disease.
