Q: What is spinosad?

Spinosad is a member of the class of antiparasitics, the spinosyns, which are novel members of a chemical class of tetracyclic macrolides. The spinosyns were identified as products of the naturally occurring bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa, an aerobic, non-antibiotic actinomycete.


I am still not clear, is spinosad, the ingredient in comfortis, an insecticide or a bacterium?
