Hygromycin B is a water-soluble antibiotic purified from the bacterium Streptomyces hydroscopicus.It kills bacteria, fungi and higher eukaryotic cells by inhibiting protein synthesis. It has been reported to interfere with translocation and to cause mistranslation at the 70S ribosome.Hygromycin B is used as a selective agent in molecular genetics experiments on a wide variety of eukaryotic and prokaryotic species. Under the trade name Hygromix, Hygromycin B is used in chickens as an aid in the control of infections of the following intestinal parasites: large roundworms (Ascaris galli), cecal worms (Heterakis gallinae) and capillary worms (Capillaria obsignata) and in Swine as an aid in the control of infections of the following intestinal parasites: large roundworms (Ascaris suis), nodular worms (Oesophagostomum dentatum) and whipworms (Trichuris suis).

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Chickens: Thoroughly mix Hygromix 8 Type A Medicated Article with feed to provide a Type B medicated feed containing up to 132 grams hygromycin B per ton or to provide a complete Type C medicated feed containing 8 to 12 g hygromycin B per ton. When manufacturing Type C medicated feed by directly mixing Hygromix 8 with the finished feed, thoroughly mix Hygromix 8 with a small quantity of finished feed before incorporation into the bulk of the finished feed. Swine: Thoroughly mix Hygromix 8 Type A Medicated Article with feed to provide a Type B medicated feed containing up to 132 grams hygromycin B per ton or to provide a complete Type C medicated feed containing 12 g hygromycin B per ton. When manufacturing Type C medicated feed by directly mixing Hygromix 8 with the finished feed, thoroughly mix Hygromix 8 with a small quantity of finished feed before incorporation into the bulk of the finished feed.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

The MIC for hygromycin B in E. coli cells growing in TSB was found to be 150 g/ml. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) for inhibition of translation was 16 g/ml.
