Properties: Bacitracin is a polypeptide antibiotic that inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Bacitracin is especially active against grampositive microorganisms such as ß-hemolytic streptococci, staphylococci, and some gramnegative pathogens. Bacitracin resistance is extremely rare.

Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Through the use of a combination of these two antibiotics, a wide spectrum of action of this agent and synergism of action against a number of microorganisms, for example, staphylococci, are achieved.
