No, bacitracin and cefazolin are different antibiotics with distinct chemical structures and mechanisms of action. Bacitracin is primarily used topically for skin infections, while cefazolin is typically given by injection to treat various bacterial infections.
The chemical formula of cefazolin is C14H14N8O4S3.
Cefazolin was discovered by Eli Lilly and Company in the 1960s. It was first marketed under the brand name Ancef.
Bacitracin contain C, H, N, O, S.
a bacitracin susceptibility test and a SXT sensitivity test can be done. if the organism is bacitracin resistant and susceptible to SXT it is termed a Non-group A or B beta-hemolytic streptococcus. thus it is probably in group C
No. Bacitracin is a triple antibiotic for skin infections and has only a small amount of zinc in it. You can buy just zinc and it can be used as a sunblock. Many lifeguards put it on their noses because it completely blocks the sun but you it is not clear it is white and you can see it because it is not rubbed in.

I can currently only answer the question about baitracin zinc. It is related to penicillin in the sense that it has the same function. I am allergic to penicillin, so I usually am prescribed bacitracin zinc as a substitute.
The scientific name of cephalosporin is cefazolin.
bacitracin is classified as a PEPTIDE (reference: http://dermnetnz.org/treatments/antibiotics.html)
Bacitracin ophthalmic is also known by the brand names Bacitracin Ophthalmic Ointment and Bacitracin Zinc. Additionally, it may be referred to simply as bacitracin when discussing its use in eye care. It's important to note that while it is primarily used for ocular infections, it may also be found in combination with other medications in some formulations.
bacitracin is limited to the treatment of infants with pneumonia and empyema caused by staphylococci shown to be susceptible to the drug
You shouldn't use bacitracin on any pet. Keep it out of reach of small children, too.
Bacitracin does have a sulfur molecule in its structure. If you are asking if bacitracin is a sulfa drug, then no, it is not a sulfa drug and can be used in patients with sulfa allergies for burns when silver sulfadiazene cannot be used.
