General Description
Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic derived from lincomycin that has antibiotic activity against aerobic gram-positive cocci, and parasitic protozoa
Clindamycin reversibly binds to the 50s bacterial ribosomal subunit, thus inhibiting protein synthesis
Applications
Clindamycin has been used to enhance bacterial colonization in research mice during the study of commensal gut microbiota
Clindamycin has been used to study biofilm-mediated antibiotic resistance in an in vitro model of G. vaginalis
Clindamycin was used as a selection agent to isolate, enumerate, and identify Lactobacillus spp. from probiotic dairy products
