Like other members of the lincosamide family,
clindamycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic with activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoans.
Clindamycin hydrochloride acts by binding to the 23S ribosomal subunit, blocking protein synthesis
Clindamycin hydrochloride is used for the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria,
including Peptostreptococcus, anaerobic streptococci, Clostridium, Bacteroides spp., spp., and microaerophilic streptococci.
It may be useful in the treatment of polymicrobic infections such as intra-abdominal or pelvic infections,
