Hygromycin B is an aminoglycoside antibiotic active against both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Synthesized by *Streptomyces hygroscopicus*, it functions by strongly inhibiting both 70S and 80S ribosomes, blocking polypeptide synthesis, and preventing ribosomal translocation. It is widely used in research for its ability to halt cell growth and confers resistance in transgenic organisms expressing the bacterial *hygR* gene.
