Bactroban works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis. This means that it stops bacteria from making important proteins. More specifically, the drug works by binding to an important bacterial enzyme known as isoleucyl transfer-RNA synthetase.
An invasive species can be any kind of living organismâan amphibian (like the cane toad pictured left), plant, insect, fish, fungus, bacteria, or even an organismâs seeds or eggsâthat is not native to an ecosystem and which causes harm. They can harm the environment, the economy or even, human health.
Aquatic invasive species include both plants and animals that have been introduced to our waterways and have become harmful to native species and their habitats. Aquatic invasive species may live entirely within or partially in an aquatic habitat.
