Mode of actions

Retapamulin is an antibacterial drug made from a fungus called Clitopilus passeckerianus. It stops bacteria from growing by blocking the production of proteins they need to survive. Retapamulin does this by attaching to a specific part (protein L3) of the bacteria’s ribosome, which is responsible for making proteins. By binding here, it prevents important steps in protein building, stopping the ribosome from working properly.
