Introduction
Description: Kanamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces kanamyceticus. Kanamycin has similar modes of action to those of gentamicin in which it inhibits protein synthesis and elicits miscoding by binding to the 30S subunit and, sometimes, the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome. Kanamycin is effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It has been reported that cross-resistance occurs between kanamycin and neomycin, framycetin, and paraomomycin, and partial cross-resistance between kanamycin and streptomycin.
