neomycin is an aminoglycoside. aminoglycosides are a group of antibiotics that use two effective modes of action to fight bacterial infections. 1.they inhibit protein synthesis in the bacteria. specifically, they inhibit protein synthesis by binding to subunits on the ribosome subunits causing mRNA to be misread and therefore not correctly translated intp proteins for growth and function. 2.they also damage the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of the bacteria.

Does mupirocin work on pseudomonas infections?
No, Mupirocin(aka Bactroban) is actually made from a species of pseudomonas, so the short-non-chemistry answer is that it's not sensitive to it's antimicrobial effect. It's better used for GRAM POSITIVE bacteria such as Staph or Strep species. Initially..you are better off trying over the counter "triple" treatment which contains agents polymyxin B and an aminoglycoside (Neomycin), both of which are 'normally' effective against pseudomonas. If you've already tried that, go see a physician.

Yes, the only difference being that Neosporin contains an additional ingredient: Neomycin. While Neomycin is yet another effective anti-infection agent, many are allergic to it.
