Bacitracin

Q. Is Bacitracin a penicillin?
No, Bacitracin is not a penicillin. Though both Bacitracin and penicillin are antibiotics, they have a different mechanism of killing the infection-causing bacteria. Bacitracin works by stopping the multiplication of the bacteria in our body, hence helping in controlling the infection. This medication is applied on minor skin infections which may occur due to small cuts or scrapes. Do not self-medicate and take the medicine exactly as recommended by the doctor, as unnecessary use or overuse of antibiotics can make the bacteria develop resistance, leading to decreased effectiveness.
Q. What type of bacteria does Bacitracin kill?
Bacitracin is an antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell wall of various bacterial organisms leading to blockade of their growth. Though the effectiveness of the medication depends upon the sensitivity of the bacteria, Bacitracin is found to be more effective towards gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococci and Streptococci. The use of Bacitracin also controls the growth of gram-negative organisms such as Gonococci and Meningococci This medicine does not work against virus or fungus infections.
Q. How do you use Bacitracin?
Bacitracin is applied over the injured or wounded area. Clean the affected area properly and let it dry before you apply Bacitracin. Apply to affected area and the area surrounding it, but take care not to spread it to a wide area. The area with the medication may be covered with a clean dressing if required. Remember to follow the doctor’s advice strictly.

Q. Can Bacitracin be used in eyes?
Yes, Bacitracin is also available as an eye drop and ointment. It is used to treat various superficial eye infections and associated infections such as conjunctivitis, inflammation of the eyelids and cornea caused by microbes. Do consult your ophthalmologist before using this medication.
