- Lincosamides
Actinomycetales
The Actinomycetales is an order of Actinomycetota.
See Lincomycin and Actinomycetales
Amino acid
Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups.
Antibiotic
An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria.
Antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes evolve mechanisms that protect them from the effects of antimicrobials (drugs used to treat infections).
See Lincomycin and Antimicrobial resistance
Bile
Bile (from Latin bilis), or gall, is a yellow-green fluid produced by the liver of most vertebrates that aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine.
Bile duct
A bile duct is any of a number of long tube-like structures that carry bile, and is present in most vertebrates.
Cerebrospinal fluid
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found within the tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cord of all vertebrates.
See Lincomycin and Cerebrospinal fluid
Chirality
Chirality is a property of asymmetry important in several branches of science.
Clindamycin
Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic medication used for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections, including osteomyelitis (bone) or joint infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, strep throat, pneumonia, acute otitis media (middle ear infections), and endocarditis. Lincomycin and Clindamycin are drugs developed by Pfizer and lincosamides.
See Lincomycin and Clindamycin
Ergothioneine
Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid and is a thiourea derivative of histidine, containing a sulfur atom on the imidazole ring.
See Lincomycin and Ergothioneine
Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally.
See Lincomycin and Hemodialysis
Kidney
In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation.
Lincosamides
Lincosamides are a class of antibiotics, which include lincomycin, clindamycin, and pirlimycin.
See Lincomycin and Lincosamides
Macrolide
Macrolides are a class of mostly natural products with a large macrocyclic lactone ring to which one or more deoxy sugars, usually cladinose and desosamine, may be attached.
Mechanism of action
In pharmacology, the term mechanism of action (MOA) refers to the specific biochemical interaction through which a drug substance produces its pharmacological effect.
See Lincomycin and Mechanism of action
Minimum inhibitory concentration
In microbiology, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of a chemical, usually a drug, which prevents visible in vitro growth of bacteria or fungi.
See Lincomycin and Minimum inhibitory concentration
Mycoplasma
Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that, like the other members of the class Mollicutes, lack a cell wall, and its peptidoglycan, around their cell membrane.
Mycothiol
Mycothiol (MSH or AcCys-GlcN-Ins) is an unusual thiol compound found in the Actinomycetota.
Penicillin
Penicillins (P, PCN or PEN) are a group of β-lactam antibiotics originally obtained from Penicillium moulds, principally P. chrysogenum and P. rubens. Lincomycin and Penicillin are drugs developed by Pfizer.
Peritoneal dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a type of dialysis that uses the peritoneum in a person's abdomen as the membrane through which fluid and dissolved substances are exchanged with the blood.
See Lincomycin and Peritoneal dialysis
Plasmodium
Plasmodium is a genus of unicellular eukaryotes that are obligate parasites of vertebrates and insects.
Streptomyces lincolnensis
Streptomyces lincolnensis is a bacterium species in the type genus Streptomyces.
See Lincomycin and Streptomyces lincolnensis
Thionyl chloride
Thionyl chloride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula.
See Lincomycin and Thionyl chloride
Transaldolase
Transaldolase is an enzyme of the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway.
See Lincomycin and Transaldolase
Tyrosine
-Tyrosine or tyrosine (symbol Tyr or Y) or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine is one of the 20 standard amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins.
