Neosporin
Neosporin (from Neo, (Greek) new + Sporos, (Greek) seed) is the product branding & formulas now owned by Johnson & Johnson of an antibiotic over-the-counter topical created under Warner-Lambert Consumer Healthcare, now a part of Pfizer. It is used in the prevention and fighting of infection and speeding the healing of wounds,[citation needed] although the widespread use of antibiotics can lead to the emergence of resistant bacteria. In the US, the only large market for Neosporin, an MRSA strain resistant to two of the active ingredients has appeared. [1]
