Description and Uses

Midecamycin, a macrolide antibiotic having a 16-membered lactone ring, was found in the culture broth of Streptomyces mycarofaciens by Meiji Seika Kaisha in 1971. Under specific culture conditions, it is produced by the organism as a single component. Midecamycin shows almost the same antimicrobial spectrum and activity as kitasamycin. Although its serum and urine concentrations are low, it distributes in tissues at high concentration following oral administration.

A broad spectrum antibiotic
