General description

Chemical structure: aminoglycoside

Application

Amikacin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic commonly used in the treatment of drug-resistant mycobacteria . It is used to study organism-directed delivery of antibiotics as well as drug resistance .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Amikacin prevents bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosome subunit and inducing mRNA misreading.
Antibacterial spectrum: Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.

Other Notes

Aminoglycoside antibiotic. Derivative of kanamycin.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections evade antibiotic therapy and are associated with mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. We find that in vitro resistance evolution of P. aeruginosa toward clinically relevant antibiotics leads to phenotypic convergence toward distinct states. These states are associated
