Microbacterium testaceum: NCBI 2033, [species]

Back to details

1. Antibiotic Production: Streptomyces lincolnensis produces lincomycin, a lincosamide antibiotic. Lincomycin is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria, including staphylococci, streptococci, and anaerobic bacteria. It is used clinically to treat various infections, including skin and soft tissue infections, respiratory tract infections, and infections caused by anaerobic bacteria.

2. Clinical Applications: Lincomycin, produced by Streptomyces lincolnensis, has been used clinically for many years to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. However, its use is now more limited due to the availability of other antibiotics and concerns about antibiotic resistance and side effects.

3. Antibiotic Resistance Studies: Streptomyces lincolnensis and its antibiotic, lincomycin, have been studied in the context of antibiotic resistance. Understanding the mechanisms of action and resistance to lincomycin can provide insights into combating antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

4. Biotechnological Applications: Lincomycin and its derivatives may have various biotechnological applications beyond medicine. They may be used in agriculture as growth promoters for livestock or in industry for the production of semi-synthetic antibiotics.

5. Environmental Health: Streptomyces lincolnensis, like other Streptomyces species, plays roles in soil ecology and nutrient cycling, which indirectly impact human health through ecosystem services such as soil fertility and environmental sustainability.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
