説明

Kitasamycin, formerly called leucomycin, was found in the culture broth of Streptoverticillium kitasatoensis by Hata et al. of the Kitasato Institute, Japan, in 1953. This was the first macrolide antibiotic with a 16-membered lactone constituent. Kitasamycin is a complex of eight leucomycin A components and is used in its base and ester forms to treat gram-positive bacterial and gram-negative coccal infections, as well as infections of Mycoplasma, Spirochaeta, and Treponema by injection or by oral topical administration.
