Kanamycin sulfate(Cat No.:I043242)is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, leading to the production of dysfunctional proteins and ultimately bacterial cell death. Kanamycin sulfate is often used in severe infections such as pneumonia, sepsis, and urinary tract infections. It is also used in laboratory research as a selective agent in cell culture systems. However, its use is limited by potential nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, requiring careful monitoring during treatment.
