Spectinomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by Streptomyces through the condensation of neutral sugars and aminocyclic alcohols. Its hydrochloride, also known as Spectinomycin HCL, is commonly used in veterinary clinical practice. Spectinomycin HCL is easily soluble in water.
Spectinomycin HCL is a broad-spectrum rapid bactericide that mainly has strong and efficient inhibitory or bactericidal effects on G+and G – bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Pasteurella, Proteus, Streptococcus hemolyticus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli. Therefore, it has good clinical therapeutic effect on infectious diseases caused by the above sensitive bacteria, such as bacterial enteritis, diarrhea of livestock and poultry, and infectious arthritis caused by sensitive bacteria.
Spectinomycin HCL also has good therapeutic effects on Mycoplasma, such as Mycoplasma pneumonia in livestock and poultry, infectious pleuropneumonia, etc.
Spectinomycin HCL can also be used in combination with lincomycin to significantly enhance its antibacterial activity against Mycoplasma and expand its antibacterial spectrum. It is mainly used to control various infectious diseases caused by pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella.
In general, Spectinomycin HCL is mainly used in veterinary medicine to treat various infectious diseases caused by sensitive bacteria, and plays an important role in the health maintenance of livestock and poultry.
