LINCOSEPT

Antibiotics

LINCOSEPT

CATEGORY: ANTIBIOTICS

The combination of lincomycin and spectinomycin acts additive and in some cases synergistic. Spectinomycin acts bacteriostatic or bactericidal, depending on the dose, against mainly Gram-negative bacteria like Campylobacter, E. coli, and Salmonella spp. and against Mycoplasma. Lincomycin has a bacteriostatic or bactericidal action against mainly Gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Treponema spp. and against Mycoplasma. Cross resistance of lincomycin with macrolides can occur.
