Product details
Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic found in many topical medications such as creams, ointments, and eyedrops. It is typically used as a topical preparation, such as Neosporin. It can also be given orally, where it is usually combined with other antibiotics. Neomycin, like other aminoglycosides, has been shown to be ototoxic causing tinnitus, hearing loss, and vestibular problems in a small number of patients. Standard techniques/instruments (HPLC or GC-MS) are utilized to detect neomycin. However, these techniques are complex, expensive, laborious, and time-consuming. Immunoassay techniques, such as ELISAs are commonly preferred as a simple, reliable and rapid method for the quantification of neomycin in various samples. The Neomycin ELISA Kit (ab285276, E4611) is a competitive-based ELISA that can be used for the determination of this antibiotic in tissue, honey, milk and milk powder.
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called E4611 Neomycin ELISA Kit. E4611-100 is the same size as the 96 test size of ab285276.

Biological function summary
The antibiotic action of neomycin related significantly to its binding affinity for ribosomal RNA within bacterial cells. This binding inhibits the translational activity effectively stopping bacterial cell growth and replication. Neomycin is not a part of a protein complex but functions by interacting with ribosomal RNA. Its broad-spectrum effects make it useful against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Pathways
Neomycin impacts the protein translation and synthesis pathway within bacterial cells. By binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit neomycin halts the accuracy of mRNA translation affecting proteins within the bacterial cell necessary for their survival. It shares similarities with other aminoglycosides like gentamicin which also target protein synthesis pathways. These compounds utilize similar interventions to disrupt bacterial translation and growth.
