Spiramycin is a macrolide antibiotic that is commonly used to treat infections of soft tissues. It has been used to treat bronchopulmonary infections in adults and has been used to study septicemia in mice .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Spiramycin is a 16-membered ring macrolide antibiotic from Streptomyces ambofaciens. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis at the level of peptidy-tRNA dissociation from ribosomes. It is mainly used against Gram-positive bacteria.

Analysis Note

A mixture of Spiramycin I, II and III.
