kan·a·my·cin (kan″ə-miґsin) an aminoglycoside antibiotic complex derived from Streptomyces kanamyceticus, consisting of three components, designated A, B, and C. The form in clinical use is a mixture of kanamycins A and B; it is effective against aerobic gram-negative bacilli and some gram-positive bacteria, including mycobacteria, although its use has declined because of toxicity and limited spectrum of activity.
