Arbekacin (INN) is a semisynthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic which was derived from kanamycin. It is primarily used for the treatment of infections caused by multi-resistant bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).[1][2] Arbekacin was originally synthesized from dibekacin in 1973 by Hamao Umezawa and collaborators.[3] It has been registered and marketed in Japan since 1990 under the trade name Habekacin.[4] Arbekacin is no longer covered by patent and generic versions of the drug are also available under such trade names as Decontasin and Blubatosine.
