General description

Gramicidin is a linear peptide antibiotic that forms ion channels in bacterial membranes, disrupting ion gradients and leading to cell death. It is typically used in topical formulations. The USP standard enables identity confirmation and quality control in topical antibiotic 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.
