Nitrocefin is a potent antibiotic which is sensitive to hydrolysis by all lactamases produced by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. As a chromogenic β-lactamase substrate, itt undergoes distinctive color change from yellow to red as the amide bond in the β-lactam ring is hydrolyzed by β-lactamase. Nitrocefin is used in competitive inhibition studies in developmental work on β-lactamase-resistant antibiotics.
