Levomycetin, eye drops 0.25% 10 ml

Levomycetin is a broad spectrum antibiotic; effective against many Gram-positive cocci (gonococci and meningococci), various bacteria (E. coli and Haemophilus influenzae, Salmonella, Shigella, Klebsiella, Serreria, Yersenia, Proteus), rickettsia, spirochetes and some major viruses.

The drug is active against strains resistant to penicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamides. It is weakly active against acid-fast bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, clostridium and protozoa.

It acts bacteriostatically. The mechanism of antibacterial action is connected with disruption of protein synthesis in microorganisms.

Drug resistance to the drug develops relatively slowly, and, as a rule, cross-resistance to other chemotherapeutic agents does not occur.
