Each 100 gm contains:
Bacitracin methylene disalicylate ……………..53.513 gm.
(Eq.to Bacitracin base 44.06 gm)
Bacitracin is a polypeptide product of Bacillus subtilis that inhibits the formation of bacteria cell-wall peptidoglycan by complexing directly with the pyrophosphate carrier & inhibiting the dephosphoylation reaction required for its regeneration. It is bactericidal to Gram +ve bacteria but has little activity against Gram –ve organisms. The main antibacterial activity of this antibiotic is due to the bacitracin A component. The speed of bactericidal action being directly proportional to its concentration &, therefore, to its dose. Its activity is unaffected by blood or tissue breakdown products. Bacitracin is active against a range of organisms similar to that affected by penicillin. In some cases clinical response is not as good as with penicillin ,but frequently bacitracin is active against penicillin –resistant-organisms .the drug is thus effective against most Gram +ve Cocci (aerobic or anerobic), Gram +ve rods, and some spirochaetes.
