Amikacin, phytopure™
SKU: 02150342-CF
From Kanamycin A. An amino-glycoside antibiotic that works by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of mRNA and leaving the bacterium unable to synthesize proteins vital to its growth. It is effective against gram-negative bacteria, fungi and mycobacteria.
Application Notes
Amikacin is most often used for treating infections with multidrug resistant Gram negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, and Enterobacter.
