Bacteria8
- The combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide works by killing the bacteria that cause acne. (epnet.com)
- It is of the lincosamide class and works by blocking bacteria from making protein. (wikipedia.org)
- Clindamycin is used primarily to treat anaerobic infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria, including dental infections, and infections of the respiratory tract, skin, and soft tissue, and peritonitis. (wikipedia.org)
- In people with hypersensitivity to penicillins, clindamycin may be used to treat infections caused by susceptible aerobic bacteria, as well. (wikipedia.org)
- Most aerobic Gram-negative bacteria (such as Pseudomonas, Legionella, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella) are resistant to clindamycin, as are the facultative anaerobic Enterobacteriaceae. (wikipedia.org)
- 64 μg/ml When testing a gram-positive culture for sensitivity to clindamycin, it is common to perform a "D-test" to determine if there is a sub-population of bacteria present with the phenotype known as iMLSB. (wikipedia.org)
- During a D-test, bacteria of the iMLSB phenotype demonstrate in vitro erythromycin-induced in vitro resistance to clindamycin. (wikipedia.org)
- To perform a D-test, an agar plate is inoculated with the bacteria in question and two drug-impregnated disks (one with erythromycin, one with clindamycin) are placed 15-20 mm apart on the plate. (wikipedia.org)
Product1

Apply2
- The combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide comes as a gel to apply to the skin. (epnet.com)
- To help you remember to use clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide gel, apply it at around the same times every day. (epnet.com)
Treat2
- The combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide is used to treat acne. (epnet.com)

Area3
- Use you fingertips to spread a thin layer of gel evenly over the affected area. (epnet.com)
- If the area of inhibition around the clindamycin disk is "D" shaped, the test result is positive. (wikipedia.org)
- If the area of inhibition around the clindamycin disk is circular, the test result is negative and clindamycin can be used. (wikipedia.org)
Times1
- Brevoxyl (Benzoyl peroxide) usually is used one or two times daily. (drlinex.com)
Common1
- Acne is an exceptionally common disorder in adolescents, affecting up to 85% of 12-24-year olds. (dermatologyadvisor.com)
Acne1
- Neonatal acne (acne occurring from birth to about 3 months) affects about 20% of healthy newborns and typically presents as small inflamed papules and pustules on the cheeks and nasal bridge. (dermatologyadvisor.com)
Salicylic acid2
- For the treatment of acne, in the long term, the combined use of topical clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide was similar to salicylic acid plus benzoyl peroxide. (wikipedia.org)
- The combination is less effective than benzoyl peroxide/salicylic acid after short-term treatment of two to four weeks, but the two treatments showed similar effectiveness after ten to twelve weeks. (worldsbest.rehab)
Combination of clindamycin4
- The combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide is used to treat acne. (medlineplus.gov)
- The combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide works by killing the bacteria that cause acne. (medlineplus.gov)
- The combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide comes as a gel to apply to the skin. (medlineplus.gov)
- It is a fixed-dose combination of clindamycin, as the phosphate, an antibiotic, and benzoyl peroxide, an antiseptic. (worldsbest.rehab)
Allergic1
- The gel is not recommended for those who are allergic to clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, any components of the formulation, or lincomycin. (worldsbest.rehab)
Erythromycin4
- During a D-test, bacteria of the iMLSB phenotype demonstrate in vitro erythromycin-induced in vitro resistance to clindamycin. (wikipedia.org)
- To perform a D-test, an agar plate is inoculated with the bacteria in question and two drug-impregnated disks (one with erythromycin, one with clindamycin) are placed 15-20 mm apart on the plate. (wikipedia.org)
- Despite the apparent susceptibility to clindamycin in the absence of erythromycin, a positive D-test precludes therapeutic use of clindamycin. (wikipedia.org)
- Topical erythromycin may antagonise the effect of clindamycin, although this has only be demonstrated in in vitro studies. (worldsbest.rehab)
Phosphate2
- Topical application of clindamycin phosphate can be used to treat mild to moderate acne. (wikipedia.org)

- Since benzoyl peroxide is an oxidizer, not an antibiotic, it is not subject to C. acnes resistance unlike clindamycin. (worldsbest.rehab)
Vitro1
- Patient-derived isolates of Plasmodium falciparum from the Peruvian Amazon have been reported to be resistant to clindamycin as evidenced by in vitro drug susceptibility testing. (wikipedia.org)
Effective1
- Clindamycin should not be used as an antimalarial by itself, although it appears to be very effective as such, because of its slow action. (wikipedia.org)
