👉 Mycomycin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that belongs to the class of macrolides. It is used in treating bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria. Mycomycin works by inhibiting the synthesis of protein molecules known as ribosomes, which are essential for the replication of certain types of bacteria. This results in a reduction in the number of bacterial cells that can multiply and cause infection.
