Description

Rokitamycin is a macrolide antibiotic against Gram-positive bacteria. Synthesized from strains of Streptomyces kitasatoensis. Rokitamycin is an inhibitor of protein synthesis by specifically binding to the 50 S subunit of the ribosome. Specificity towards prokaryotes relies upon the absence of 50S ribosomes in eukaryotes.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Oral granules: 10g Susceptible infections: 400mg every 12 hours for 7-14 days Oral tablet: 400mg
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Rokitamycin killed more rapidly than the other antibiotics, in fact H. pylori strains were totally killed at 8 h (2 x MIC) and 4 h (4 x MIC) and after only 2 h incubation all concentrations greatly decreased the CFU/ml
