|---|---|
| kanamycin - alpha-hydroxy-gamma-aminobutyl acylase | <enzyme> Transforms kanamycin into amikacin Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: alpha-hydroxy-gamma-aminobutyl acylase, haba acylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| kanamycin kinase | <enzyme> A class of enzymes that inactivate aminoglycoside-aminocyclitol antibiotics by regiospecific phosphorylation of the 3' and/or 5' hydroxyl. Chemical name: ATP:kanamycin 3'-O-phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.95 (12 Dec 1998) |
| kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase | <enzyme> From plasmid pub110-carrying cells of b. Subtilis Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| kanamycin resistance | Nonsusceptibility of bacteria to the antibiotic kanamycin, which can bind to their 70s ribosomes and cause misreading of messenger RNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| kanamycin sulfate | An aminoglycoside antibiotic substance derived from strains of Streptomyces kanamycetius; a thermostable, water-soluble, polybasic substance consisting of two amino sugars glycosidally linked to deoxystreptamine. The antibacterial activity in vitro is nearly identical with that of neomycin and kanamycin sulfate is active against many aerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Aerobacter, Escherichia coli, Proteus, Klebsiella, Neisseria, Shigella, and Salmonella). Excessive doses and prolonged administration may result in irreversible damage to the auditory portion and/or vesitibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
