Application

Gentamicin sulfate BP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the British Pharmacopoeia.

Also used in monographs such as:
  • Gentamicin and Hydrocortisone Acetate Ear Drops

    • Biochem/physiol Actions

    Mode of action: Gentamicin causes codon misreading by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, blocking the translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from the acceptor site to the donor site. The bactericidal effect of gentamicin on Pseudomonas aeruginosa is exerted by the binding of gentamicin to the outer membrane, where it displaces natural cations, destabilizes the membrane, and forms holes in the cell surface.

    Antimicrobial spectrum: Includes Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including strains resistant to tetracycline, chloramphenicol, kanamycin and colistin, particularly strains of Pseudomonas, Proteus, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus.
