WHAT BACTROBAN IS USED FOR
Bactroban is a topical
antibacterial ointment used to
prevent or treat bacterial skin
infections such as an infectious
skin infection with blistering
and crusting known as
“impetigo”, infected hair
follicles which form pimples
containing pus known as
“folliculitis” and recurring boils
known as “furunculosis”.
HOW BACTROBAN WORKS
Bactroban is an antibiotic
produced through fermentation
by Pseudomonas fluorescens.
When absorbed into the skin, it
prevents formation of bacterial
protein and kills the bacteria
when applied to infected skin
area.
