1950 Sun (Baltimore) 22 Apr. 15/1 The company [sc. Chas. Pfizer & Co.] just announced a new anti-biotic drug called viomycin, hoped to be effective in the treatment of tuberculosis.
1983 D. J. Weatherall et al. Oxf. Textbk. Med. I. v. 254/2 Kanamycin, capreomycin, and viomycin are aminoglycosides which can be used as alternatives to the more potent streptomycin in patients hypersensitive to the streptomycin or who are infected with strains resistant to first-line drugs.
