Linospan Iv 100ml (Linezolid) is a synthetic antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. This prevents the formation of the initiation complex and subsequent peptide chain elongation, leading to bacterial cell death. It is effective against both Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria.
