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.
Application
Lithium mupirocin supplement is used for selective enumeration of Bifidobacteria from fermented milk products along with the TOS-propionate agar according to ISO 29981:2010 and IDF 220:2010

Mupirocin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus results from changes in the target enzyme, isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IRS). Twelve strains of S. aureus comprising four susceptible (MICs < or = 4 micrograms/ml), four intermediate level-resistant (MICs between 8 and 256 micrograms/ml), and four

To discover a compound inhibiting multiple proteins (i.e. polypharmacological targets) is a new paradigm for the complex diseases (e.g. cancers and diabetes). In general, the polypharmacological proteins often share similar local binding environments and motifs. As the exponential growth of

Our objective was to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in workers who had direct contact with oncologic patients infected with MRSA and admitted to the intensive care unit of the Valencian Institute of Oncology. A study of prevalence
