Apramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used, particularly for treating infections in livestock. Apramycin is effective against a range of Gram-negative bacteria and some Gram-positive bacteria, making it useful for treating various bacterial infections.

Essential insights

  • Inhibition of protein synthesis: Apramycin binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria.
  • Disruption of translation: By binding to the ribosomal subunit, apramycin interferes with the initiation of protein synthesis and causes misreading of mRNA.
  • Bacterial death: This disruption leads to the production of faulty proteins and ultimately results in bacterial cell death.
