• Description: Narasin is an ionophore antibiotic, which is a fermentation product derived from certain strains of the bacterium *Streptomyces aureofaciens*. It functions by disrupting the ion gradients across cell membranes, specifically facilitating the transport of sodium and potassium ions. This action interferes with the energy metabolism of certain pathogenic microorganisms, rendering them unable to proliferate effectively.
