What is Pirlimycin?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Pirlimycin is a derivative of clindamycin with a 6-membered ring replacing clindamycin's 5-membered ring. Compared to clindimycin, pirlimycin has increased activity against gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase negative species of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. This agent is primarily used in the treatment of mastitis in cattle.
