Synonym: Kanamycin sulfate salt, Kanamycin A
Kanamycin sulfate is a water soluble broad spectrum antibiotic obtained from soil bacterium Streptomyces kanamyceticus . It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic 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. Aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (acetyltransferase, phosphotransferase, nucleotidyltransferase) alter the antibiotic, preventing its interaction with ribosomes. Kanamycin sulfate is a sterile filtered solution formulated to contain 10mg/ml Kanamycin.
