General description
Lithium mupirocin is isolated from Pseudomonas fluorescens. At lower concentrations, it has bacteriostatic characteristics, while at higher concentrations it is bacteriocidal. Mupirocin is active against gram-positive bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Lactobacilli, Lactococci, Streptococci and Leuconostocs. Mupirocin has been used to study mupirocin resistance in Mycoplasma bacteria. Mupirocin inhibits the isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, which finally results in inhibition of protein and RNA synthesis. Mupirocin lithium salt is freely soluble in water.
