Antibiotics

Nystatin (Fungicidin) is a topical and oral antifungal agent with activity against many species of yeast and candida albicans, which is used largely to treat

Amicetin is a type of antibiotic, which is derived from bacterial sources, specifically from Streptomyces species. It functions primarily by inhibiting protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria, achieved through interfering with the aminoacyl-tRNA binding process on the ribosome. This mechanism disrupts the translation process, thereby preventing bacterial growth and replication. Amicetin's applications are primarily focused on its use as a bacteriostatic agent. In laboratory research, it serves as a valuable tool for studying bacterial protein synthesis pathways and exploring ribosomal function. Due to its specific mode of action, it is used to investigate resistance mechanisms and develop new strategies to overcome antibiotic resistance. While not extensively used in clinical settings, Amicetin's role in enhancing our understanding of microbial physiology and resistance patterns is noteworthy.
