THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antibiotic
ACTION
The antibacterial action of fusidic acid results from the inhibition
of bacterial protein synthesis.
The drug interferes with amino acid transfer from aminoacyl-tRNA to
proteins undergoing
biosynthetic process on the ribosomes. Although bacterial cells stop
dividing almost within two
minutes after contact with the antibiotic in vitro, DNA and RNA
synthesis continue for 45
minutes and 1-2 hours, respectively.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Other species against which fusidic acid exerts high clinical activity
include
Streptococci, (including Pneumococci) and Corynebacteria.
(2,10,14)
Fusidic acid is virtually inactive against most gram negative
bacteria. The differences in activity
against gram negative and gram positive organisms are believed to be
due to a difference in cell

wall permeability.
Mammalian cells are much less susceptible to inhibition of protein
synthesis by FUCIDIN
(fusidic acid) than sensitive bacterial cells. These differences are
believed to be due primarily to a
difference in cell wall permeability.
No cross-resistance has been observed to date between FUCIDIN and
other antibiotics presently
in clinical use.
CLINICAL PHARMACOKINETICS
FUCIDIN (fusidic acid) has a somewhat steroid like structure but does
not exhibit any steroid
like pharmacological activity (ie. hormonal or anti-infl
