Sodium fusidate is the more water soluble sodium salt of fusidic acid, a steroidal metabolite of Fusidum coccineum which is a potent Gram positive antibiotic. Fusidic acid inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotes by inhibiting the ribosome-dependent activity of G factor and translocation of peptidyl-tRNA. Fusidic acid also suppresses NO lysis of pancreatic islet cells.
