neomycin is an aminoglycoside. aminoglycosides are a group of antibiotics that use two effective modes of action to fight bacterial infections. 1.they inhibit protein synthesis in the bacteria. specifically, they inhibit protein synthesis by binding to subunits on the ribosome subunits causing mRNA to be misread and therefore not correctly translated intp proteins for growth and function. 2.they also damage the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of the bacteria.

What does SNL stand for in SNL feeder cells?

SNL stands for "STO/Neomycin/ Leukemia Inhibitory Factor." These are mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder cells that have been engineered to secrete leukemia inhibitory factor and are commonly used in culturing embryonic stem cells.


Name any 5 microorganisms along with their uses?

Escherichia coli (E. coli): Used in biotechnology for gene cloning and protein expression. Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Used in baking, brewing, and winemaking to ferment sugars into alcohol. Lactobacillus: Used in the production of yogurt, cheese, and other fermented foods due to its role in acid production. Streptomyces: Produces antibiotics such as streptomycin and neomycin used in medicine. Pseudomonas: Involved in bioremediation to break down pollutants in the environment.


What is a sexual transmitted disease that is curable with antibiotics apex?

Apex Antibiotic is a proprietary medicine which should be available only on prescription (for use by a qualified veterinarian), to be used for the relief of pruritus and inflammation associated with superficial acute and chronic dermatoses including hot spots in dogs, cats and horse. Its active ingredients are Neomycin sulfate 5mg/ml, Hydrocortisone 5mg/ml, Lignocaine 10mg/ml. The medicine is NOT intended for human use and is not intended for treating STDs.


Does mupirocin work on pseudomonas infections?

No, Mupirocin(aka Bactroban) is actually made from a species of pseudomonas, so the short-non-chemistry answer is that it's not sensitive to it's antimicrobial effect. It's better used for GRAM POSITIVE bacteria such as Staph or Strep species. Initially..you are better off trying over the counter "triple" treatment which contains agents polymyxin B and an aminoglycoside (Neomycin), both of which are 'normally' effective against pseudomonas. If you've already tried that, go see a physician.

How much kg of neomycin sulphate corresponds to neomycin base?

Neomycin sulphate contains approximately 25% neomycin base by weight. So, to calculate the amount of neomycin base, you would multiply the weight of neomycin sulphate by 0.25.


Which microorganism is the source of the antibiotic neomycin?

Neomycin is derived from the bacterium Streptomyces fradiae. It is commonly used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial infections.


How is neomycin used?

Regular doses of neomycin (Neobiotic), taken orally or administered to comatose patients in liquid form through a tube, may be used to decrease production of protein-digesting bacteria in the bowel.


Can neosporin be used instead of polysporin?

Yes, the only difference being that Neosporin contains an additional ingredient: Neomycin. While Neomycin is yet another effective anti-infection agent, many are allergic to it. So you must be careful if switching to Neosporin, especially if the patient has never used this before. Yes, the only difference being that Neosporin contains an additional ingredient: Neomycin.

How neomycin prepared?

Neomycin is typically prepared through microbial fermentation by certain strains of Streptomyces species. These bacteria produce the antibiotic through their metabolic processes, and it is then isolated and purified for pharmaceutical use. The final product is usually in the form of neomycin sulfate or neomycin base.

How many bou in 1 kg OF NEOMYCIN SULPHATE?

The molecular weight of neomycin sulfate is approximately 615.6 g/mol. To calculate the number of moles in 1 kg of neomycin sulfate, you would divide 1000 g by the molecular weight. This gives you approximately 1.62 moles of neomycin sulfate in 1 kg. Since 1 mole of a compound contains Avogadro's number of molecules (6.022 x 10^23), there are approximately 9.75 x 10^23 molecules of neomycin sulfate in 1 kg.
