General description

Amikacin is semisynthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from kanamycin A. Amikacin has broad spectrum activity against serious gram-negative bacilli drug resistant infections and also mycobacteria type infections. Amikacin binds to 30S bacterial ribosomal subunit causing a change of conformation, thus disrupting mRNA’s interaction with tRNA and hampering bacterial growth. Amikacin also showed potency against some gram-positive bacteria like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Amikacin is extensively used for multidrug resistant tuberculosis treatment with 1ug/mL MIC value against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Additionally, Amikacin MIC studies of gram negative and gram positive bacteria showed MIC distribution range of 0.094-48µg/ml. Several other studies showed that Amikacin has a synergistic effect combined with β-lactams against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus spp. strains and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Amikacin is additionally used for wound healing assays at concentration of 250 µg/mL.

Other Notes

The suggested concentration of Amikacin for assays is 0.094-250 µg/mL therefore, it is recommended to dilute the ready made solution 1:100-266,000. Amikacin:Sulfate ratio 1:1.8

Amikacin has been one of the important antimicrobial agents against Gram-negative pathogens. However, there is discrepancy regarding the amikacin initial dosage, with some reports recently recommending ≥25 mg/kg and others the conventional dosage (15-20 mg/kg). Hence, we evaluated the optimal initial dosing
