Description

Bacitracin is an antibiotic that has significant importance in the life science marketplace.

Bacitracin is an antibiotic that has significant importance in the life science marketplace. It is derived from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis and belongs to the class of polypeptide antibiotics.

In the life science marketplace, bacitracin is primarily used for its antimicrobial properties. It is commonly employed in microbiology laboratories, research, and pharmaceutical industries. Bacitracin is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species.

One of the key applications of bacitracin is in cell culture and tissue culture work. It is used as an additive in cell culture media to prevent bacterial contamination, ensuring the growth of uncontaminated cell lines. Bacitracin acts by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the disruption of bacterial growth and preventing contamination.

Moreover, bacitracin is utilized in research laboratories for studying bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics and determining the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of bacteria. It is an essential tool in evaluating the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents and studying antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
