Bacitracin (Zinc)

Bacitracin Zinc is a complex formed by the binding of Bacitracin (HY-107193) with zinc ions. Bacitracin Zinc is an orally active polypeptide antibiotic with bactericidal properties. Bacitracin Zinc can cause DNA and deoxyribose damage, as well as improve the gut microbiota of broiler and beef cattle[1][2].
