Description and Uses

Kanamycin 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.

Kanamycin sulfate is an antibacterial agent similar to neomycin.
