Description: Mupirocin calcium dihydrate is an antibiotic and bacterial metabolite. It is bacteriostatic against S. aureus (MIC = 0.05 µg/ml) and active against skin wound clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA; MICs = 1-4 µg/ml). Mupirocin inhibits MRSA and P. aeruginosa biofilm formation in vitro.4 It inhibits bacterial cell wall isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, slowing bacterial growth. Topical administration of Mupirocin (2% v/v) reduces the number of wound colony forming units (CFUs) in a mouse model of MRSA skin infection. Lithium mupirocin as been used to study mupirocin resistance in staphylococcus aureus and in mycoplasma susceptibility studies.

Product Data:
Biological target: Mupirocin (BRL-4910A, Pseudomonic acid) calcium hydrate is an orally active antibiotic isolated from Pseudomonas fluorescens.
In vitro activity: Mupirocin (pseudomonic acid A), an antibiotic produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens, showed a high level of activity against staphylococci and streptococci and against certain gram-negative bacteria, including Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, but was much less active against most gram-negative bacilli an anaerobes. Mupirocin was highly bound (95% bound) to the protein of human serum, and activity was reduced 10- to 20-fold in the presence of human serum. Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1985 Apr;27(4):495-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3923922/
In vivo activity: Graft infections were established in the back subcutaneous tissue of adult male Wistar rats by implantation of Dacron prostheses (1 cm(2)) followed by topical inoculation with 5 x 10(7) CFU of one staphylococcal strain. The study included a control group (no graft contamination), three contaminated groups that did not receive any antibiotic prophylaxis, three contaminated groups that received mupirocin-soaked grafts, three contaminated groups in which perioperative intraperitoneal vancomycin prophylaxis (10 mg/kg of body weight) was administered, and three contaminated groups that received mupirocin-soaked grafts and perioperative intraperitoneal vancomycin prophylaxis (10 mg/kg). Data analysis showed the efficacy of mupirocin against all three strains, with growth of the strains in treated rats significantly different than that in the untreated control. In addition, mupirocin was more effective than vancomycin against the strain with intermediate susceptibility to the glycopeptide.
