  Kantrex (Kanamycin) drug description - prescription drugs and medications at RxList
As with other aminoglycosides, the major toxic effects of kanamycin sulfate are its action on the auditory and vestibular branches of the eighth nerve and the renal tubules.
Kanamycin sulfate should not be given concurrently with potent diuretics (ethacrynic acid, furosemide, meralluride sodium, sodium mercaptomerin, or mannitol).
Kanamycin sulfate Injection, USP, sterile solution for parenteral administration, contains respectively; kanamycin sulfate 75mg, 500 mg, and 1.0 g; sodium bisulfite, an antioxidant, 0.099%, 0.66%, and 0.45%; and sodium citrate, 0.33%, 2.2%, and 2.2% with pH of each dosage form adjusted to 4.5 with sulfuric acid.

The American Academy of Pediatrics considers kanamycin to be “usually compatible with breast-feeding”.
Although kanamycin transfers into human milk, it is not well absorbed when taken orally.

 Kanamycin - OpenWetWare
The APHs inactivate kanamycin by transferring the γ-phosphate of ATP to the hydroxyl group in the 3' position of the pseudosaccharide.
Several versions of this gene exist, with varying crossover resistance to other antibiotics such as neomycin or gentamycin.
Stock solution is 35 mg/ml in water (kanamycin is insoluble in 50% alcohol).

  Kanamycin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kanamycin (marketed under the brand name Kantrex®) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, available in both oral and intravenous forms, and used to treat a wide variety of infections.
Kanamycin works by affecting an unknown aspect of translocation (part of the translation process in which the mRNA is shifted one codon in relation to the ribosome), and by causing messenger RNA (mRNA) to be misread by the ribosome, causing a lethal level of translational errors.
Common side effects include changes in hearing (either hearing loss or ringing in the ears), toxicity to kidneys, and allergic reactions to the drug.

 Kanamycin Still Used and Cross-Reacts with New Antibiotics ISIS Report  27may01
Kanamycin resistance genes are approved as selectable markers on grounds that the antibiotic is no longer in use.
Kanamycin is used prior to endoscopy of colon and rectum [4] and to treat ocular infections [5].
In conclusion, extensive use of kanamycin resistance marker genes in genetically modified crops is unjustifiable in the face of current medical applications.

Regiospecificity Assignment for the Reaction of Kanamycin Nucleotidyltransferase from Staphylococcus aureus
Kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase [ANT (4',4' ')-I] from Staphylococcus aureus confers resistance to numerous aminoglycosides with a 4' or 4' ' hydroxyl group in the equatorial position.
The regiospecificity of the reaction catalyzed by kanamycin nucleotidyltransferase of kanamycin A with either ATP or m-nitrobenzyl triphosphate was determined directly by one- and two-dimensional hetero- and homonuclear NMR techniques.

SAFETY OF NEW FORMULATION Kanamycin sulfate Orally administered kanamycin sulfate is generally considered to be poorly absorbed systemically through intact intestinal mucosa, although the possibility of increased absorption through ulcerated or denuded areas should be considered especially when the dose is increased.
Since orally administered kanamycin sulfate is not expected to reach therapeutic levels, Amforol should not be prescribed for treating Salmonella septicemia.
A "Contraindication" appears on the labeling as follows: "Amforol is contraindicated in treatment of Salmonella septicemias." Bismuth subcarbonate Orally administered bismuth subcarbonate is an insoluble salt and generally not absorbed in significant amounts.

 A farewell to bacterial ARMs? - Nature Biotechnology
One such factor is the reluctance of the medical community to treat bacterial infections with kanamycin or neomycin because of the severity of their side effects.
Kanamycin, among the first aminoglycosides to be used clinically, has been superseded by other broader-range aminoglycosides, such as gentamicin, tobramycin and amikacin, whose side effects are less severe.
It is therefore with enthusiasm that the results of the next phase of characterization of this selectable marker—mechanistic investigations of how it confers kanamycin resistance—are anxiously awaited by all factions of the plant biotechnology community, but especially those with special interests in genetically modified crops, phytoremediation or plant ABC transporters.

The gene for the neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPT II) from transposon Tn5 was fused at the amino or carboxy terminus to foreign DNA sequences coding for 3-300 amino acids and the properties of the fused proteins were investigated.
All amino-terminal fusions examined conferred kanamycin resistance to their host cell, but profound differences in their enzymatic activity and stability were detected.
Fusions at the carboxy-terminal end of the NPT II protein did not always induce kanamycin resistance and their enzymatic activity depended more stringently
