Neomycin is used primarily to treat bacterial infections, especially those caused by gram-negative bacteria. Neomycin helps control bacterial infections by interfering with the protein production necessary for bacterial survival and proliferation.

Essential insights

• Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis: Neomycin binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, disrupting protein synthesis. This inhibition prevents bacteria from producing essential proteins needed for growth and replication.
• Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity: Effective against a variety of gram-negative bacteria, neomycin helps manage infections by targeting and killing these pathogens.
• Reduction of Bacterial Population: By impairing protein synthesis, neomycin decreases the number of bacteria, reducing the severity and spread of infections.
