 |  | [General Description] 
 
 Phenylmercury nitrate is a mercury-based organic compound known to have antibacterial and antifungal activities. It is also used as a preservative for parenteral injections. |  | [Clinical Use] 
 Phenylmercuric nitrate is a mixture of phenylmercuric nitrateand phenylmercuric hydroxide. It occurs as a whitecrystalline material that is sparingly soluble in water andslightly soluble in alcohol. It is used in concentrations of1:10,000 to 1:50,000 to preserve injectable drugs againstbacterial contamination. A disadvantage to organomercurialsis that their bacteriostatic efficacy is reduced in the presenceof serum.
