ACTION AND PHARMACOLOGY
Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic active against many aerobic
gram-negative bacteria
and some aerobic gram-positive bacteria. It is inactive against fungi,
viruses and most anaerobic
bacteria. Although the exact mechanism of action is not known, it
appears to inhibit
protein synthesis in susceptible organisms by binding to 30S ribosomal
subunits.
Gentamicin is usually bactericidal in action. It is active against
bacteria commonly found in eye
infections: both coagulase positive and negative Staphylococci
(including certain strains
resistant to penicillin), Group A beta-hemolytic and non-hemolytic
streptococci, and S.
pneumonia. Gentamicin is also active against gram-negative bacteria,
including Ps.
aeruginosa, indole-positive and negative Proteus spp., K. pneumoniae,
S. marcescens, H.
influenzae, E. coli, N. gonorrhea, Providencia spp., and H.
vaginicoli.
In vitro the susceptibility of different species and strains of the
same species may show
variation. Natural and acquired resistance to gentamicin has occurred
in gram-negative and
gram-positive bacteria. There is partial resistance between gentamicin
and other
aminoglycoside antibiotics.
