Aminoglycoside antibiotics display bactericidal activity against Gram-negative aerobes and some anaerobic bacilli where resistance has not yet arisen but generally not against Gram-positive and anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria. [3] Streptomycin is the first-in-class aminoglycoside antibiotic.
Streptothricins are a group of antibiotics in the aminoglycoside class. [1] The first antibiotic in the group was isolated from Streptomyces lavendulae in 1942. [ 2 ] It was later determined to be a mixture of closely-related compounds, and is now known as nourseothricin .
Netilmicin (1-N-ethylsisomicin) is a semisynthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic, and a derivative of sisomicin, produced by Micromonospora inyoensis. Aminoglycoside antibiotics have the ability to kill a wide variety of bacteria. Netilmicin is not absorbed from the gut and is therefore only given by injection or infusion.
Sisomicin (bactoCeaze, ensamycin, and initially antibiotic 6640 [1] and rickamicin [1]), is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, isolated from the fermentation broth of Micromonospora inositola. [1] It is a newer broad-spectrum aminoglycoside most structurally related to gentamicin .
Side-effects of amikacin are similar to those of other aminoglycosides. Kidney damage and ototoxicity (which can lead to hearing loss) are the most important effects, occurring in 1–10% of users. [17] The nephro- and ototoxicity are thought to be due to aminoglycosides' tendency to accumulate in the kidneys and inner ear. [8] Diagram of the ...
Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that displays bactericidal activity against Gram-negative aerobic bacilli and some anaerobic bacilli where resistance has not yet arisen. It is generally not effective against Gram-positive bacilli and anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli. Neomycin comes in oral and topical formulations, including creams ...

Spectinomycin, sold under the tradename Trobicin among others, is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of gonorrhea infections. [2] It is given by injection into a muscle. [2] Common side effects include pain at the area of injection, rash, nausea, fever, and trouble sleeping. [2] Severe allergic reactions may occasionally occur. [2]
