Usage

General Description

N-Demethyllincomycin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic that is derived from lincomycin. It is a lincosamide antibiotic that is used to treat various bacterial infections, particularly those caused by anaerobic bacteria. N-Demethyllincomycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria. This antibiotic is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and anaerobic bacteria, making it a valuable treatment option for infections in clinical settings. However, like other antibiotics, the use of N-Demethyllincomycin should be carefully monitored to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance and to minimize potential side effects.
