Action
Pharmacology: Fusidic acid/Sodium Fusidate is a steroidal antibiotic with a bacteriostatic activity, mainly against gram positive bacteria.
Fusidic acid/Sodium Fusidate inhibits bacterial protein synthesis although, in contrast to drugs such as the macrolides or tetracyclines, it does not bind to the bacterial ribosome, but inhibits a factor necessary for translocation of peptide subunits and elongation of the peptide chain. It is capable of inhibiting protein synthesis in mammalian cells but exerts a selective action against susceptible infecting organisms because of poor penetration into the host cells.
