Streptomyces is the largest genus of Actinomycetota, and the type genus of the family Streptomycetaceae. [3] Over 700 species of Streptomyces bacteria have been described. [4] [5] [6] As with the other Actinomycetota, streptomycetes are gram-positive, and have very large genomes with high GC content.
Hygromycin B is an antibiotic produced by the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus. It is an aminoglycoside that kills bacteria , fungi and other eukaryotic cells by inhibiting protein synthesis .
Streptomyces isolates have yielded the majority of human, animal, and agricultural antibiotics, as well as a number of fundamental chemotherapy medicines. Streptomyces is the largest antibiotic -producing genus of Actinomycetota , producing chemotherapy, antibacterial, antifungal , antiparasitic drugs, and immunosuppressants . [ 1 ]
The following is a list of Streptomyces species, organized alphabetically by species name. [1] Names that have not been validated according to the Bacteriological Code are enclosed in "quotes". As of June 2021 [update] , there are 679 valid species of Streptomyces and an additional 121 provisional species. [ 1 ]
Hygromycin may refer to either of two chemically dissimilar antibiotics produced by the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus: Hygromycin A; Hygromycin B, an aminoglycoside that kills bacteria, fungi and higher eukaryotic cells
Little further research was performed on totomycin for decades afterwards due to its weak activity against most bacteria, and as of 2021 its safety or efficacy in humans have not been assessed in any preclinical or clinical trials, although some initial results in mice were promising. [2] [3]
