Pharmacodynamics

Fusidic acid is a bacteriostatic antibiotic and helps prevent bacterial growth while the immune system clears the infection.

Mechanism of action

Fusidic acid works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis, specifically by preventing the translocation of the elongation factor G (EF-G) from the ribosome. It also can inhibit chloramphenicol acetyltransferase enzymes.

TargetActionsOrganism
AElongation factor G
inhibitor
Thermus thermophilus
UChloramphenicol acetyltransferase
inhibitor
Salmonella typhi
UChloramphenicol acetyltransferase 3
inhibitor
Escherichia coli
Absorption

Sodium fusidic acid tablets have a 91% oral bioavailability. Absorption of the film-coated tablets is complete when compared to a solution, however oral absorption is variable. Oral fusidic acid hemihydrate (suspension) achieved a 22.5% bioavailability in pediatric patients following a 20 milligram/kilogram dose.
