Spectinomycin Action Pathway
Homo sapiens
Drug Action Pathway
Spectinomycin (also named Togamycin or Trobicin) is an aminocyclitol antibiotic for the treatment of gonorrhea infections such as penicillin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae (experimental studies shows that spectinomycin equips with bacteriostatic effect against most Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains). It is produced from Streptomyces spectabilis, which is a soil microorganism. Spectinomycin reversibly interferes with the interaction between mRNA and the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit. It is structurally similar to aminoglycosides, but does not cause misreading of mRNA. It is structurally similar to aminoglycosides, but does not cause misreading of mRNA.
