  News - Interaction of Fusidic Acid With Lipid Membranes: Implications to the Mechanism of Antibiotic Activity
Fusidic acid inhibits polypeptidc chain elongation by binding to the ribosomeelongation factor-G (EF-G)-GDP complex and thereby preventing the dissociation of EF-G from the ribosome (3).
Each individual fusidic acid molecule replacing one DPPC was set in a membrane such that its orientation was in line with the orientation of the removed DPPC molecule.

 Impetigo and its Treatment: Inhibitors of Staphylococcus
The researcher in charge of the project was mainly interested in the use of fusidic acid as a treatment; the povidone-iodine combination is sometimes irritating and is a standard topical therapy for the disease that served as the control treatment.
Fusidic acid, a steroid like molecule which does not, however, have steroid-like activity, is used for mild to moderately severe skin and soft-tissue infections, including impetigo, folicullitis, erythrasma, furunculosis, abscesses, and infected traumatic wounds.
The topical combination of fusidic acid with a steroid (e.g., betamethasone or hydrocortisone) is very useful in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and eczema when staphylococcal secondary infection or staphylococcal antigen is suspected to be a contributor (5).

As shown recently, certain amino acid exchanges in elongation factor G (EF-G) of Staphylococcus aureus, such as H457Y, cause resistance to fusidic acid.
The aim of the present study was (i) to analyse the biological costs of the mutation H457Y and (ii) to investigate whether the mutation S416F is able to compensate for this fitness burden.
The amino acid exchange S416F, however, did not influence the fusidic acid susceptibility and impaired the biological fitness of the bacteria only slightly when present individually.
