Information

Kanamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic primarily used to treat serious infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, including tuberculosis. It was historically used for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), but its use has declined due to concerns over nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, and newer drugs are now preferred. It is still approved and used in some settings for specific resistant infections.
