What is Bacitracin Topical Ointment?

Bacitracin is an antibiotic derived from bacteria, specifically Bacillus subtilis. In the form of a topical ointment, it is applied externally to the skin to prevent and treat bacterial infections, such as cuts, scrapes, and burns. Bacitracin works by disrupting the formation of bacterial cell walls, which are crucial for bacteria's survival. This disruption helps stop the growth of bacteria and promotes healing.
