Clindamycin phosphate is a water-soluble ester of the semi-synthetic antibiotic clindamycin, which is synthesized from lincomycin. Like the macrolide antibiotics, it acts as a bacteriostatic agent by interfering with the 50S subunit of the ribosome of Cutibacterium acnes, inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and preventing bacteria from ...
It contains clindamycin, as the phosphate, a lincosamide antibacterial; adapalene, a synthetic retinoid; and benzoyl peroxide, an oxidizing agent. [2] It is applied to the skin . [ 2 ]
Clindamycin alone has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of acne, [24] toxic shock syndrome [25] and malaria, [26] and to decrease the risk of premature births in women with bacterial vaginosis. [27] Lincosamide antibiotics may also be useful in the treatment of methicillin-resistant S. aureus. [28]
When you have a cold or flu for a long period of time, that can start to impact the “good bacteria” in your body and turn into a “super infection,” explains Tran. “At that point, an ...
Pseudomembranous colitis is a potentially lethal condition commonly associated with clindamycin, but which also occurs with other antibiotics. [ 10 ] [ 47 ] Overgrowth of Clostridioides difficile , which is inherently resistant to clindamycin, results in the production of a toxin that causes a range of adverse effects, from diarrhea to colitis ...
The European Union regulated in 2006 against antibiotics for growth promotion purposes. [12] It was estimated in 2014 that over 80% of the world's antibiotic use was on farms. [13] [12] Coccidiosis in fowl had evolved increased tolerance to the antibiotic feed. [12] The WHO warned in April 2014 that farm use was a contributor to superbugs in ...
The following is a list of antibiotics. The highest division between antibiotics is bactericidal and bacteriostatic. Bactericidals kill bacteria directly, whereas bacteriostatics prevent them from dividing. However, these classifications are based on laboratory behavior.
Glycopeptide antibiotics are a class of drugs of microbial origin that are composed of glycosylated cyclic or polycyclic nonribosomal peptides.Significant glycopeptide antibiotics include the anti-infective antibiotics vancomycin, teicoplanin, telavancin, ramoplanin, avoparcin and decaplanin, corbomycin, complestatin and the antitumor antibiotic bleomycin.
