What is the difference between polysporin and neosporin?

Neosporin is an antibiotic with three components...neomycin sulfate, polymixin B sulfate and bacitracin. If this combination is in ointment form, many times you will find it called "triple antibiotic ointment" or it's Trade name, Neomycin. Polysporin is a combination of two antibiotics, bacitracin zinc and polymixin B sulfate. By combining the three antibiotics, one may treat or prevent a wider range of bacterial infections.
