Altabax (retapamulin ointment) is a topical antibiotic used to treat impetigo, a bacterial skin infection, primarily caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping the growth of bacteria. This medication is typically applied to the affected area of the skin as directed by a healthcare provider.
