Kanamycin (Kanamycin A) sulfate is an orally active antibacterial (gram-negative/positive bacteria) agent, inhibits translocation and causes misencoding by binding to the 70 S ribosomal subunit. Kanamycin sulfate 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].
Kanamycin sulfate (0.1-100 μg/mL; 2 weeks) exhibits good antibacterial activity (MIC=1-5 μg/mL) to various strains of mycobacteria in vitro[1].
Kanamycin sulfate (2, 4 mg/kg; s.c.; once daily, 6 times a week for 3 weeks) inhibits growth of bovine tubercle bacilli in lung and spleen of mice[1].
Kanamycin sulfate (1.25, 5 mg/kg; s.c.; single (at 3 h after infection)) inhibits the multiplication of K. pneumonia DT-S in lung, trachea, and blood of mice and in proportion to the dose administration, and also increases the survival rate of mice[2].
