| Synonym(s) | aminosidin aminosidine catenulin crestomycin estomycin Gabbomycin Humagel Humatin hydroxymycin monomycin A neomycin E paucimycin |
| Definition | An aminoglycoside antibiotic used for the treatment of parasitic infections. It is similar to neomycin sharing a similar spectrum of activity, but its hydroxyl group at the 6'-position instead of an amino group makes it resistant to AAC(6') modifying enzymes. |
