Bacitracin Zinc（Cat No.:A000658）is a polypeptide antibiotic commonly used for topical treatment of skin and eye infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. By inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, bacitracin disrupts cell wall integrity, leading to bacterial cell death. The addition of zinc enhances its stability and extends shelf life, making it effective in preventing wound infections and promoting healing. Bacitracin Zinc is frequently found in over-the-counter ointments for minor cuts, burns, and abrasions, valued for its efficacy, minimal resistance development, and low systemic absorption in localized applications.
