T-Bact Skin Cream is an antibiotic which prevents the growth of the bacteria responsible for the bacterial infection. The active ingredient in T-Bact Cream is Mupirocin, which exerts its mechanism of action by inhibiting the activity of an essential enzyme called isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, which is required for the synthesis of vital bacterial proteins. Bacteria devoid of such essential proteins will not be able to survive, and will eventually die.
