| Properties : |
| |
- Lincomycin is produced by Streptomyces lincolniensis
and is chemically distinct from all other clinically available
antibiotics. It is readily soluble in water. It is effective in vitro
against most of the common gram-positive pathogens. It
is also effective against certain mycoplasma, spirochete
and anaerobic organisms.
- Spectinomycin is produced by Streptomyces flavopersicus.
Spectinomycin free base is weakly basic and readily
soluble in water. It has in vivo activity against many gramnegative
and mycoplasma organisms but like lincomycin,
is inactive against yeasts, molds and viruses. |
