Selection Antibiotics & Contamination Control

Selection antibiotics and contamination-control reagents isolate modified cells and keep cultures free of microbes. Stable mammalian cell lines are selected with an antibiotic matched to the resistance gene, such as puromycin, G418, blasticidin S, hygromycin B or phleomycin D1. Ampicillin, carbenicillin, kanamycin and chloramphenicol select bacteria that carry resistance plasmids. Penicillin G with streptomycin, gentamicin, amphotericin B and nystatin are added to media to limit bacterial and fungal contamination. Ciprofloxacin is also used in protocols that remove mycoplasma from infected cultures.

    Streptomycin

    Synonyms: Agrept; Agrimycin; Streptomycin A

    Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic primarily targeting bacterial protein synthesis by binding to ribosomal RNA. It exhibits potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, making it essential for tuberculosis research. In addition, Streptomycin demonstrates bactericidal properties against various bacterial infections and interferes with nucleic acid interactions. Furthermore, this compound acts as a blocker of stretch-activated and mechanosensitive ion channels in neurons and cardiac myocytes, enabling its use in studies related to electrophysiological processes.
