Neolink has bacteriostatic action against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.
Lincomycin is an antibiotic from the lincosamide group. The antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lincolniensis has a bacteriostatic effect. Inhibits protein synthesis of bacteria due to reversible binding to the 50s ribosome subunit, disrupts the formation of peptide bonds. Active against gram-positive cocci (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., including Streptococcus pneumoniae); Haemophilus influenzae; Bacillus anthracis, Mycoplasma spp., Bacteroides spp., Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium tetani. Effective against Staphylococcus spp., resistant to penicillin, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, cephalosporins (30% Staphylococcus spp., resistant to erythromycin, have cross-resistance to lincomycin). Does not act on Enterococcus spp (including Enterococcus faecalis), gram-negative microorganisms, fungi, viruses, protozoa; inferior in activity to erythromycin against spore-forming anaerobes, Neisseria spp., Corynebacterium spp. Resistance to lincomycin develops slowly. In high doses, it has a bactericidal effect.
Neomycin has a broad spectrum of antibacterial action. It is effective against a number of gram-positive (staphylococci, pneumococci, etc.) and gram-negative (E. coli, dysentery, Proteus, etc.) microorganisms. Against streptococci inactive. On pathogenic (pathogenic) fungi, viruses and anaerobic flora (microorganisms that can exist in the absence of oxygen) does not work. Resistance of microorganisms to neomycin develops slowly and to a small extent. The drug acts bactericidal (destroys bacteria). neomycin is used locally to treat infected wounds, a number of skin diseases (pyoderma), vaginal infections, eye diseases, etc.
Prednisolone, which is part of the Neolink, causes its antitoxic properties, contributing to the rapid removal of inflammatory and allergic reactions, as well as the regeneration of the affected udder tissues.
