Nitrocefin
A beta-lactam antibiotic, with diagnostic properties. Nitrocefin is sensitive to hydrolysis by all lactamases produced by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This agent undergoes a color change as its amide bond is hydrolyzed by beta-lactamase, making it useful as a reagent in beta-lactamase activity studies. (NCI Thesaurus)
