Research Antibiotics, Tyrothricin, 100mg

Tyrothricin, 100 mg. Tyrothricin is a large cyclic polypeptide antibiotic isolated from Brevibacillus brevis. Tyrothricin is composed of a mixture of tyrocidins and gramicidins which have antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria.

• Category: Microbiology
• CAS Number: 1404-88-2
• Molecular Formula: C₆₅H₈₅N₁₁O₁₃
• Molecular Weight: 1228.44
• Mechanism of Action: Tyrothricin targets and inserts into the gram positive membrane where it disrupts normal permeability leading to cell death. Tyrothricin is typically used topically as it would be too toxic to use systemically.
• Storage Conditions: 2-8°C
• Tariff Code: 2941.90.1050
• Spectrum: Tyrothricin is effective against Gram positive bacteria and shows little to no effect against Gram negative bacteria.
