Gentamicin

Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used for treating bacterial infections in animals. It is primarily used to manage infections caused by gram-negative bacteria and certain gram-positive bacteria. Gentamicin can be administered topically, intramuscularly, or intravenously depending on the type and severity of the infection. Read more

Essential insights

• Inhibition of Protein Synthesis: Gentamicin binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit in bacteria, disrupting protein synthesis.
• Bacterial Cell Damage: This leads to errors in protein synthesis, damaging bacterial cells and causing their death.
