In suspected or documented gram-negative septicemia, particularly when
shock or hypotension
is present, Gentamicin Sulfate in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection may

antimicrobial therapy. Gentamicin should be considered in serious
Staphylococcus infections
when other less potentially toxic antimicrobial drugs are

mixed infection involving
anaerobic organism is suspected, additional antimicrobial therapy with
anaerobic activity should
be added to the gentamicin regimen.
Susceptibility
Appropriate culture and susceptibility studies should be
