Blasticidin is a peptidyl nucleoside antibiotic used for selection of cells expressing the bsr gene. The anti­biotic is active against many bacteria, yeast and animal cells by interfering with the peptide bound formation in the ribosomal machinery of prokaryotes and ­eukaryotes. Resistance to blasticidin is conferred by the blasticidin resistence gene bsr which codes for ­blasticidin deaminase.
