Lincomycin Hydrochloride(U10149A) is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lincolnensis var. lincolnensis.Target: AntibacterialLincomycin hydrochloride is a systemic antibiotic, which is active against most common gram positive bacteria. It has proved to be excellent for infectious diseases like acne, anthrax, pneumonia, and also for the treatment of furunculosis, carbuncles, impetigo, burns and wounds, carrying to gram positive bacteria. Lincomycin hydrochloride inhibits cell growth and microbial protein synthesis, by interacting strongly and specifically with the 50S ribosomal subunit, at mutually related sites [1-3].
