IMPETIGO Overview: Impetigo is a common skin infection caused
by streptococcus (strep) or staphylococcus (staph) bacteria.
If you have a cut, bite (insect, human or animal) graze, eczema or injury to the skin, this usually heals but sometimes bacteria can enter the body and grow there, causing inflammation and infection.

WHO GETS IMPETIGO?
It is most common in children, infants and people who have lower immune function for some reason.
Impetigo is very easily spread to other parts of your body or other people.
Also more common if children or adults are living in poor or crowded houses

CONTI…
Impetigo is contagious, meaning it is easy to spread it to other parts of your body or to other people such as family members or classmates
If the fluid that oozes from impetigo blisters touches an open area on your skin, you may get impetigo too.

![Page 13: Pirocin 2% ointment (Mupirocin bp)](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061410/5563b60dd8b42ac70d8b4f21/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MECHANISM OF ACTION Mupirocin reversibly binds to bacterial
isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, an enzyme which promotes the conversion of isoleucine and tRNA to isoleucyl-tRNA.
Prevention of this enzymes from functioning properly results in the inhibition of bacterial prote in and RNA synthesis.
