Antibiotic

abm | Gentamycin | G056Gentamicin sulfate is a water-soluble antibiotic originally purified from the fungus Micromonospora purpurea. Gentamicin acts by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and...

abm | Chloramphenicol | G055Chloramphenicol belongs to the family of medicines called antibiotics. Chloramphenicol ophthalmic preparations are used to treat infections of the eye. This medicine may be given alone or with other medicines that are taken by...

abm | Carbenicillin | G054Carbenicillin is a member of the penicillin β-lactam antibiotics. However, unlike most β-lactams, carbenicillin disodium is limited to primarily gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and common enteric species...

abm | Ganciclovir | G612Ganciclovir is a nucleoside analogue which blocks the replication of viral DNA. It must be phosphorylated 3 times including 1 time by a viral enzyme to be active. Its main side effect is the occurrence of neutropenia. This risk is...

abm | Spectinomycin dihydrochloride | G442Spectinomycin is an aminocyclitol antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces spectabilis. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, but most commonly used against Gonococcus species. It has...

abm | Actinomycin D | G033Actinomycin is a group of polypeptide antibiotics derived from soil bacteria known as Streptomyces. Actinomycin D is one of the major antibiotics in this group. It is most commonly used to inhibit the transcription of DNA by...

abm | Streptomycin | G023Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic primarily effective against gram-negative bacteria and Mycobacterium species. It is commonly used in cell culture media to prevent bacterial contamination. It has also been used to...

abm | Kanamycin | G022Kanamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic which is obtained from Streptomyces kanamyceticus. It associates with the small ribosomal subunit of prokaryotes and thus inhibits protein synthesis. Kanamycin is usually used in...

abm | Ampicillin | G021As a part of the penicillin group, Ampicillin is a beta lactam antibiotic that is able to penetrate both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. By inhibiting the transpeptidase within the bacteria, Ampicillin ultimately prevents...

abm | Hygromycin B | G265Hygromycin B is an aminoglycoside produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus bacteria. This antibiotic kills fungi, bacteria, and even eukaryotic cells by blocking protein synthesis. Hygromycin B is often used in order to select for...

abm | Puromycin | G264Extracted from Streptomyces alboniger bacteria, Puromycin is an aminonucleoside antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with the translation process. It specifically inhibits peptidyl transfer on both prokaryotic...

abm | G418 | G262G418, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is produced by Micromonospora rhodorangea. G418 blocks polypeptide synthesis in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes by inhibiting the elongation step. It is also used to select for genetically engineered...
