Best Answer

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.

Can neosporin be used instead of polysporin?

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. So you must be careful if switching to Neosporin, especially if the patient has never used this before. Yes, the only difference being that Neosporin contains an additional ingredient: Neomycin.
