| Application: | Fusidic acid sodium salt has been used to study the effects of three-drug combinations on the growth rate of a bacterium, wild-type Escherichia coli. It is also used to study the in vitro susceptibility of dog-derived European methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus aureus strains and their methicillin-susceptible counterparts. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Fusidic acid possesses antimicrobial action against skin pathogens. It is highly specific to Staphylococcus aureus. It is therefore used for treating infected traumatic wounds, folliculitis, furunculosis, impetigo, erythrasma and abscesses. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Suppresses nitric oxide lysis of pancreatic islet cells. Inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotes by inhibiting the ribosome-dependent activity of G factor and translocation of peptidyl-tRNA. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Suppresses nitric oxide lysis of pancreatic islet cells; inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotes. |
