1. kanamycin

   Kanamycin A, often referred to simply as kanamycin, is an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections and tuberculosis. It is not a first line treatment. It is used by mouth, injection into a vein, or injection into a muscle. Kanamycin is recommended for short-term use only, usually from 7 to 10 days. As with most antibiotics, it is ineffective in viral infections.Common side effects include hearing and balance problems. Kidney problems may also occur. Kanamycin is not recommended during pregnancy as it may harm the baby. It is likely safe during breastfeeding. Kanamycin is in the aminoglycoside family of medications. It works by blocking the production of proteins that are required for bacterial survival.Kanamycin was first isolated in 1957 by Hamao Umezawa from the bacterium Streptomyces kanamyceticus. It was removed from the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines in 2019. It is no longer marketed in the United States.

1. kanamycin

   Kanamycin is an aminoglycoside type of antibiotic that is used to treat several types of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby killing sensitive bacteria. It is often sold under the trade name Kantrex, but is also used in laboratories as a selective agent for bacteria that have been genetically manipulated. Kanamycin is not absorbed from the normal digestive tract and thus is given as an injection into a muscle or vein for systemic infections.
