Acts synergistic. Lincomycin has a bacteriostatical mode of action against mainly gram positive bacteria (like Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Str. suis, Str. agalactia, Diplococcus pneumonia, Corynebacterium pyogenes, Clostridium perfringens, Cl. tetani and Pasteurella multocida). Enterococci and gram negative bacteria are hardly sensitive. Anaerobe micro-organisms are very sensitive, like Bacteroides spp. and Fusibacterium spp. (Doyle-dysentery) and Mycoplasmas (like M. galli septicum, M. hyosynovia, M. meleagridis, M. canis and M. hyorhinis; M. pneumonia is hardly sensitive).
