General description
Bacitracin zinc is a mixture of cyclic polypeptides with antibacterial activity, produced by Bacillus subtilis. It interferes with cell wall synthesis by inhibiting the dephosphorylation of lipid carriers in peptidoglycan assembly. The zinc salt form improves stability and activity in topical applications. The USP standard facilitates microbiological and chemical analysis of bacitracin preparations.
