Popis: A mutant of Micromonospora purpurea, which produces the gentamicin complex only when 2-deoxystreptamine is added to the fermentation medium, produces a new antibiotic complex, 2-hydroxygentamicin, when streptamine or 2, 4, 6/3, 5-pentahydroxycyclohexanone is added to the fermentation medium. This mutant also produces the gentamicin complex when 2, 4/3, 5-tetrahydroxycyclohexanone is added to the fermentation medium. The C1 and C2 components of 2-hydroxygentamicin have broad spectrum in vitro antibacterial activity similar to the gentamicin C1 and C2 components, but with greater activity against some gentamicin-resistant strains.
