DESCRIPTION: A white ointment containing 2.0% w/w Mupirocin.
PHARMACODYNAMICS:
Mupirocin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to
isoleucyl-transfer
RNA synthetase. Due to this particular mode of action and its unique
molecular structure,
Mupirocin
does not show any cross-resistance with other antibiotics. It is
mainly active against Gram-positive
aerobes,
most
strains
of
staphylococci
including
methicillin-resistant
and
multiple
resistant
staphylococcus aureus and streptococci. lt is also active against some
Gram-negative bacterium.
PHARMACOKINETICS:
Mupirocin
is
rapidly
inactivated
after
absorption
and
its
systemic
level
is
undetectable.
Virtually no systemic absorption (
< 1.1 nanograms per mL of whole blood ) following
