Bekanamycin
is an aminoglycoside antibacterial acquired from Streptomyces kanamyceticus,
with antibacterial activity. Bekanamycin irreversibly binds to the bacterial
30S ribosomal subunit. Specifically, this antibacterial is lodged amid 16S rRNA
and S12 protein aural the 30S subunit. This leads to arrest with translational
admission complex, misreading of mRNA, thereby arrest protein amalgam and
consistent in antibacterial effect.
