General Description
• Bacitracin is a mixture of at least nine different cyclic polypeptides, originally isolated from Bacillus bacteria in 1945
• Bacitracins work by binding divalent metal cations and preventing the hydrolysis of lipids into usable cell wall components
Applications
• Bacitracin has been paired with nanoparticles in some laboratory studies to increase its effectivity
• It is suitable for the laboratory study of bacterial resistance, infection, and cross-reactivity
