Description

Bacitracin Manganese CAS NO 1405-99-8 is a stable, water-soluble complex of the polypeptide antibiotic bacitracin with manganese ions, primarily valued for its potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive organisms. This formulation enhances the stability and efficacy of bacitracin, making it a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and feed additive. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, veterinary medicine, and animal nutrition industries requiring a reliable, high-purity antimicrobial agent.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Used as the active ingredient in topical antibiotic ointments, creams, and powders for human use.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: A key component in medicated feeds, wound sprays, and mastitis treatments for livestock and companion animals.
• Animal Feed Additive: Incorporated into poultry, swine, and cattle feed at sub-therapeutic levels to promote growth and improve feed efficiency.
• Antimicrobial Preservative: Employed in certain cosmetic and personal care formulations to prevent microbial contamination.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a selective agent in microbiological media and cell culture studies.
• Aquaculture: Used in fish and shrimp farming to prevent and control bacterial infections.
