Gentamycin injection
CAS NO:1405-41-0
Gentamicin injection is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, used to treat many types of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. Gentamicin is a bactericidal antibiotic that works by binding the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, interrupting protein synthesis.
Gentamicin is heat-stable antibiotics that remain active even after autoclaving, which makes it useful in the preparation of some microbiological growth media. It is used during orthopedic surgery when high temperatures are required for the setting of cements (e.g. hip replacements).It is available in 80 mg/2ml strength.
