Application

Capreomycin is used to study bacterial ribosomal subunit interactions and translocation processes during protein synthesis. It is a second line antibiotic and is used to study multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Capreomycin is a cyclic peptide antibiotic that is often grouped with aminoglycosides. It binds across the ribosomal interface involving 23S rRNA helix 69 (H69) and 16S rRNA helix 44 (h44).

Preparation Note

Sparingly soluble in water.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Capreomycin and the structurally similar compound viomycin are cyclic peptide antibiotics which are particularly active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including multidrug resistant strains. Both antibiotics bind across the ribosomal interface involving 23S rRNA helix 69 (H69) and 16S rRNA helix 44

The emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has led to a renewed interest in the use of second-line antibiotic agents. Unfortunately, there are currently dearths of information, data, and computational models that can be used to help design rational regimens for

Multi-drug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/XDR-TB) becomes an increasing problem in management. Linezolid has been off-label used in treatment of MDR/XDR-TB with major adverse effects. To study outcomes of MDR/XDR-TB patients treated with linezolid in Central Chest Institute of Thailand.

The mycobacterial cell wall affords natural resistance to antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) modify the surface properties of mycobacteria and can act synergistically with antibiotics from differing classes. Here, we investigate the response of Mycobacterium smegmatis to the presence of rifampin

Capreomycin, an important drug for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, is a macrocyclic peptide antibiotic produced by Saccharothrix mutabolis subspecies capreolus. The basis of resistance to this drug was investigated by isolating and characterizing capreomycin-resistant strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis and
