General description
Bacitracin zinc is a mixture of cyclic polypeptides with antibacterial activity, produced by Bacillus subtilis. It interferes with cell wall synthesis by inhibiting the dephosphorylation of lipid carriers in peptidoglycan assembly. The zinc salt form improves stability and activity in topical applications. The USP standard facilitates microbiological and chemical analysis of bacitracin preparations.
The USP biologics antibiotics category includes a wide range of antimicrobial agents that are essential in treating bacterial infections. These antibiotics are derived from various natural sources or synthesized to combat specific pathogens effectively. The USP provides comprehensive standards, reference materials, and analytical procedures to ensure the identity, quality, purity, and consistency of antibiotic therapeutics throughout their lifecycle.
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.
