개요Kanamycin was found by Umezawa et al. in the culture broth of Streptomyces kanamyceticus in 1957. It is produced with other components, kanamycins B (bekanamycin) and C, which are also separated during the purification. The compound shows much lower toxicity than the earlier aminoglycosides, streptomycin and neomycin, and strong activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Mycobacterium. Kanamycin has been used clinically for treatment of such serious infections as dysentery, salmonellosis, and tuberculosis.

용도Kanamycin sulfate is an antibacterial agent similar to neomycin.

일반 설명Kanamycin sulfate 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. It is recommended for use in cell culture applications at 2 mL/L.
