This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Acros Organics product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Acros Organics product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
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
