Product description

Composition

Each 100 ml contains:
Gentamicin base (as sulphate)              5.0 gm

Properties

Gentamycin sulphate is bactericidal in action, acting directly on the bacterial ribosome where it inhibits protein synthesis and decreases the fidelity of translation of the genetic code. The substance is highly polar and transport appears to be an active process closely linked to electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation and the respiratory quinones in the cell membrane. The antibacterial activity is primarily directed against aerobic Gram- negative bacteria, Enterobacter aerogenes, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, Proteus and Pseudomonas aeroginosa
