Fusidic acid (Standard)

Fusidic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Fusidic acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Fusidic acid (Fusidate) a bacteriostatic antibiotic produced from the Fusidium coccineum fungus, belongs to the class of steroids. Fusidic acid has no corticosteroid effects. Fusidic acid inhibits the growth of bacteria by preventing the release of translation elongation factor G (EF-G) from the ribosome[1][2].
