Kanamycin may not be used much anymore as a drug for humans, but it is ubiquitous in microbiology labs (for instance as an ingredient in medium on which clones with DNA inserts are grown, to ensure that only bacteria with the desired insert - to which a gene conferring resistance to kanamycin has been appended - are able to grow.)
