Preferred Label : Spectinomycin Hydrochloride Anhydrous;
NCIt definition : The anhydrous hydrochloride salt form of spectinomycin, an aminocyclitol aminoglycoside
antibiotic derived from Streptomyces spectabilis with bacteriostatic activity. Spectinomycin
binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit. As a result, this agent interferes with
the initiation of protein synthesis and with proper protein elongation. This eventually
leads to bacterial cell death.;
