Carbenicillin is recommended for use in place of ampicillin to maintain the selective marker bla (b-lactamase or ampicillin resistance). Ampicillin selection tends to be lost in cultures as the drug is degraded by the secreted b-lactamase enzyme and by the drop in pH that usually accompanies bacterial fermentation. A way to avoid this loss of drug resistance is to use the related drug, Carbenicillin, which is less sensitive to low pH.
