Description

Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic used primarily to treat bacterial skin infections, especially those caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, effectively stopping their growth and reproduction. Mupirocin is commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as impetigo and folliculitis, and can also be used to eliminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
