Application

Clindamycin hydrochloride EP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the European Pharmacopoeia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clindamycin is a semi-synthetic, lincosamide antibiotic that is prepared from lincomycin. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by hydrogen bond interactions with the 23S rRNA component of the 50S ribosomal subunit thus inducing dissociation of the peptidyl-t-RNA complex. It has antibacterial activity against Gram-positive cocci and antiprotozoal activity against Taxoplasma.

Packaging

The product is delivered as supplied by the issuing Pharmacopoeia. For the current unit quantity, please visit the EDQM reference substance catalogue.

Resistance to macrolides in beta-hemolytic streptococci and Streptococcus pneumoniae arises primarily due to Erm(B) or Mef(A). Erm(B) typically confers high level resistance to macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramin B (MLSB phenotype), whereas Mef(A) confers low level resistance to macrolides only (M
