Nourseothricin sulfate
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Nourseothricin sulfate (Streptothricin sulfate) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that destroys the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and is a dominant selective marker for Fonsecaea pedrosoi. Nourseothricin sulfate inhibits protein biosynthesis in prokaryotic cells and strongly inhibits the growth of eukaryotes like fungi and can also be used as a elective marker for a wide range of organisms including bacteria, yeast, filamentous fungi, and plant cells.

Biological Activity
Escherichia coli resistance to neurosporin can be sensitive to resistant strains by eliminating their outer membrane resistance. The polycationic antibiotic, Nourseothricin, represents a mixture of several Streptothricins, mainly D and F. Obviously, although very slowly, it can pass the outer membrane via the porin pores. It has been shown earlier that Nourseothricin is able to generate some kind of channels into the outer membrane through which it can pass the cell wall. On the other hand, there are indications that resistant strains containing a Nourseothricin-inactivating acetyl transferase possess an additional protecting system, namely a reduced penetrability of the outer membrane[1].

Toxicity of nourseothricin. To assess nourseothricin toxicity, the impact of different concentrations of Nourseothricin (0-128 µg/mL, 0-5 days) on larval survival was compared with that of larvae that received no injection and larvae injected with 30 µL of PBS. Survival proportions for these groups were recorded over 4 days, and the probability of survival was analyzed accordingly. NTC, nourseothricin; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline.
