There are no known drug interactions between antibiotic ointment and the Birth Control pill. You can use Bactroban, Neomycin, etc. without worrying about a back up method.

Can you take a birth control pill in the morning and an antibiotic at night and the birth control still work?

No. That won't decrease the effects of the antibiotic on the birth control's efficiency. The only safe way is to use alternative forms of birth control while taking the antibiotic and for at least two weeks after finishing the antibiotics. Don't have unprotected sex during that time because you are at an increased risk of pregnancy. What time you take the pills won't help that - sorry :)
