Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including: http://www.drugs.com/cdi/kanamycin.html https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=d4865638-1259-4eef-a73c-fe919af6e850

Kanamycin (a mixture of kanamycin A, B and C) is an aminoglycoside bacteriocidal antibiotic, available in oral, intravenous, and intramuscular forms, and used to treat a wide variety of infections. It is effective against Gram-negative bacteria and certain Gram-positive bacteria. Aminoglycosides work by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of t-RNA, leaving the bacterium unable to synthesize proteins vital to its growth. Serious side effects include tinnitus or loss of hearing, toxicity to kidneys, and allergic reactions to the drug. Mixing of an aminoglycoside with beta-lactam-type antibiotics (penicillins or cephalosporins) may result in a significant mutual inactivation. Even when an aminoglycoside and a penicillin-type drug are administered separately by different routes, a reduction in aminoglycoside serum half-life or serum levels has been reported in patients with impaired renal function and in some patients with normal renal function.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: In adults, does not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in therapeutically adequate concentrations. Small improvement in penetration with inflamed meninges. http://www.nikapharm.uz/en/products/kanamycin https://www.google.ru/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&ved=0ahUKEwi7rPuFzZ3MAhWnYZoKHT49B1gQFghCMAU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kurgansintez.ru%2Fen%2Fcatalog%2Fdoc_en%2F%25D0%259A%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BC%25D0%25B8%25D1%2586%25D0%25B8%25D0%25BD%2520%25D0%25B8%25D0%25BD%25D1%2581%25D1%2582%25D1%2580%25D1%2583%25D0%25BA%25D1%2586%25D0%25B8%25D1%258F_ENG.doc&usg=AFQjCNEbniX1AkdM3gQf_NmUv6xsx7rMOA&sig2=WDq4GgcENoEZxCI1BLyvUw&bvm=bv.119745492,d.bGs

Approved Use

Kanamycin may be considered as initial therapy in the treatment of infections where one or more of the following are the known or suspected pathogens: E. coli, Proteus species (both indole-positive and indole-negative), Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens, Acinetobacter species. Although kanamycin is not the drug of choice for staphylococcal infections, it may be indicated under certain conditions for the treatment of known or suspected staphylococcal disease.
