Kanamycin sulfate from Streptomyces kanamycetikus, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Kanamycin sulfate from Streptomyces kanamycetikus USP Grade, White Powder

• It is a broad spectrum aminoglycoside-antibiotic derived from Streptomyces kanamyceticus.
• It is used as an additive in culture media for the isolation of group D streptococci on Kanamycin Esculin Azide Agar and for selection of transformed plant cells containing the neomycin phosphotransferase on a kanamycin-medium.
• Kanamycin sulfate can also be used as a selection agent for cells transformed with kanamycin B resistance gene.
• Kanamycin sulfate is an antimicrobial agent effective against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and mycoplasma.
• It binds to the 70S ribosomal subunit, inhibits translocation, and elicits miscoding.
• Cross-resistance occurs between kanamycin and neomycin, framycetin, and paromomycin, and partial cross-resistance has been reported between kanamycin and streptomycin. Aminoglycosidemodifying enzymes (acetyltransferase, phosphotransferase, nucleotidyltransferase) alter the antibiotic, preventing its interaction with ribosomes.
