Mechanism of Action of Muprikab Mupirocin Cream
Mupirocin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It selectively binds to bacterial isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, an enzyme essential for protein production. This binding prevents the incorporation of isoleucine into bacterial proteins, leading to bacterial cell death. When applied to the skin, Muprikab effectively eliminates bacteria and promotes healing of the infected area.
