Kanamycin

Kanamycin (Kanamycin A) is an orally active antibacterial (gram-negative/positive bacteria) agent, inhibits translocation and causes misencoding by binding to the 70 S ribosomal subunit. Kanamycin shows good inhibitory activity to both M. tuberculosis (sensitive and drug-resistant) and K. pneumonia, which can be used in studies of tuberculosis and pneumonia[1][2][3][4].
