A novel crystalline form is defined by diffraction angle 2 of X-ray powder diffraction pattern and characteristic peak of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The novel crystalline form of Cefamandole Nafate is prepared as follows: adding Cefamandole Nafate in solid state to an organic solvent to form a suspension with a concentration of 0.040.3 g/ml, stirring the suspension at 4050 C. for a period of time, and then cooling to 515 C. at certain cooling rate, continuing to stir for a period of time, then suction filtrating the obtained suspension, the resulting filer cake is Cefamandole Nafate as wet product, which is dried to constant weight to provide the novel crystalline form of Cefamandole Nafate as final product.

The compositions of the present disclosure provide novel fluorogenic probes for use in the specific imaging and detection of mycobacteria species, and in particular -lactam-antibiotic resistant. Specificity for mycobacteria is conferred on these probes by incorporating a moiety that specifically targets the unique trapping mechanism of the DprE1 found in in mycobacteria. Accordingly, only Mycobacteria species that express both a -lactamase and DprE1 enable both the activation of the caged fluorescent probe, and the affixing of the released fluorescent probes to the bacteria cells through the functioning reduction-covalent binding mechanism. Advantageously, such a probe is able, at its most sensitive, to allow single mycobacterium detection.
