Bioactivity | Bacitracin A is an antibiotic, which exhibits antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria. Bacitracin A forms complex with long-chain polyisoprenyl pyrophosphates in presence of metal ions, dephosphorylates the lipid carrier intermediate Css-bactoprenyl pyrophosphate, inhibits thus the bacterial cell wall biosynthesis[1]. |
