Description

General description

Chemical structure: aminoglycoside

Application

Amikacin hydrate is used in antimicrobial susceptibility studies of organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Ehrlichia phagocytophila.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Amikacin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosome subunit and inducing mRNA misreading. It interferes with the translocation of tRNA from the A-site to the P-site.

Packaging

5G

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
