Description and Uses

Bacitracin zinc is a zinc complex of bacitracin, a polypeptide produced by the growth of an organism of the licheniformis group of Bacillus subtilis. The main components are Bacitracin A, B1 and B2.Bacitracin zinc has antibiotic activity against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria including staphylococci. The zinc complex adds stability to the component, making bacitracin zinc more stable compared to bacitracin.

Bacitracin zinc is a dephosphorylation of the C55-isoprenyl pyrophosphate interference for inhibition of cleavage of Tyr from Met-enkephalin with IC50 of 10 μM.
