Fusidic Acid: An Inhibitor of the Elongation Factor G (EF-G)
Fusidic acid is a steroidal antibiotic compound derived from the fungus Fusidium coccineum. The elongation factor G (EF-G) catalyzes the translocation of the tRNA and mRNA down the ribosome at the end of each round of polypeptide elongation. Fusidic acid binds to EF-G, preventing its release from the ribosome, thus stalling bacterial protein synthesis. Fusidic acid is mainly notable for its activity against staphylococci, whether or not they are resistant to methicillin and related penicillins. Fusidic acid was found in the culture broth of a fungus imperfectus, Fusidium coccineum, by Leo in 1962. It has a steroid structure but shows no hormonal activity.

Uses	antibacterial
Uses	Fusidic acid is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. Fusidic Acid suppresses nitric oxide lysis of pancreatic islet cells. Inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotes by inhibiting the ribosome-dependent activity of G factor and translocation of peptidyl-tRNA. Dyes and metabolites.
