Pharmacological action:

Antibiotic from the group linkozamidov, has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial action. The mechanism of action is due to binding to the 50 S subunit of the ribosomal membrane and inhibition of protein synthesis in the microbial cell. Acts bacteriostatically. In respect of a number of gram-positive cocci possible bactericidal action.

Active against Staphycccus spp. (incl.Staphycccus epidermidis, producing and non-producing penicillinase), Streptcccus spp. (except Enterccccus faecais), Streptcccus pneumniae, Crynebacterium diphtheriae, Mycpasma spp., anaerobic and microaerophilic gram-positive cocci (including Peptcccus spp . and Peptstreptcccus spp.), Cstridium perfringens, tetani Cstridium, Bacterides spp. (including Bacterides fragiis and Prevtea meaningenica), Fusbacterium spp., Prpinibacterium spp., eubacterium and Actinmyces israeii.

Most strains of Cstridium perfringens are sensitive to clindamycin, but other types of cstridium spp. (incl.Cstridium sprgenes, Cstridium tertium) resistant to its action, in connection with which infections caused by Cstridium spp., it is recommended to determine antibioticogram.

Between clindamycin and lincomycin there is cross-resistance.
