Studies show that Mupirocin works best in a weakly acidic environment, the normal pH of the skin is around 5.5, so it is considered a favorable factor for the effect of Tropeal when applied topically. Mupirocin is active mainly against aerobic gram-positive bacteria. Aerobic gram-negative bacteria are less susceptible to the drug. When Tropeal is applied topically to the skin or nasal mucosa, a very small amount of the drug is absorbed into the general circulation.
