Mechanism of action
Lincomycin is an antibiotic belonging to the lincosamide group. Lincosamides bind to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and inhibit protein synthesis by blocking peptidyl transferase activity. The action of lincomycin is bacteriostatic or bactericidal at higher concentrations, depending on the drug concentration, bacterial species, susceptibility, and infection site conditions. Its antibacterial efficacy is considered time-dependent. The antimicrobial activity of lincomycin increases in alkaline pH.
Most aerobic Gram-positive cocci, including staphylococci and streptococci, are susceptible to lincomycin. Mycoplasma spp. are also generally susceptible to lincomycin. Among susceptible anaerobic bacteria, Clostridium perfringens is clinically important.
