The antibiotic spectrum, pharmacology, adverse effects, and therapeutic use of amikacin sulfate are reviewed. Amikacin, a semisynthetic analog of kanamycin, is highly active against most gram-negative bacteria including many gentamicin-resistant strains. Amikacin's pharmacologic properties have been studied extensively in both
