CAS 1405-89-6: Bacitracin zinc
Description:Bacitracin zinc is an antibiotic compound that is a complex mixture of cyclic polypeptides produced by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. It is primarily used for its antibacterial properties, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria. The zinc salt form enhances its stability and solubility, making it suitable for various applications, including topical ointments and veterinary medicine. Bacitracin zinc works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which ultimately leads to cell lysis and death. It is often used in combination with other antibiotics to broaden its spectrum of activity. The compound is generally considered safe for topical use, but it can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. In terms of physical properties, bacitracin zinc is typically a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly bitter taste. Its use is regulated, and it is important to follow guidelines to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
