It is more effective against gram-positive than gram-negative organisms, and some species of Pseudomonas and Proteus are of limited sensitivity. It is used as a wound dressing for the prevention of infection in minor skin loss injuries and ulcerative wounds. It is used as an adjunct to systemic antibiotic therapy where appropriate.
