Gentamicin, an orally active aminoglycoside antibiotic, inhibits the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and to inhibit several strains of mycoplasma in tissue culture. Gentamicin inhibits DNase I with an IC50 of 0.57 mM.

The free form of the compound is prone to instability, it is advisable to consider the stable salt form (Gentamicin sulfate) that retains the same biological activity.

Description

Gentamicin, an orally active aminoglycoside antibiotic, inhibits the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and to inhibit several strains of mycoplasma in tissue culture. Gentamicin inhibits DNase I with an IC50 of 0.57 mM[1][2][3][4].

IC50 & Target

Aminoglycoside

 

In Vitro

Gentamicin is a more effective in vitro bacterial inhibitor than combined penicillin-streptomycin, is nontoxic to tissue culture monolayers, and does not inhibit virus replication[2].
Gentamicin has been used with success as an additive in commercial mycology media to inhibit growth of bacteria and has been shown to be bactericidal for a wider range of organisms (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus sp., and Streptococcus faecalis) than penicillin and streptomycin[2].
Gentamicin does not interfere with the production of cytopathic effect by certain echoviruses and polioviruses in tissue culture, is nontoxic to Rhesus monkey kidney, HeLa, and human amnion cells, and is stable at autoclave temperatures[2].
Gentamicin is produced by various species of the genus Micromonospora[3].
Gentamicin C1a binds in the major groove of the A-site of the RNA[3].

In Vivo

Gentamicin (oral and injectable forms) exhibits effective antibacterial activity against Yersinia pestis as demonstrated in a mouse infection model[3].
Gentamicin (0.27 g/kg) shows a significant reduction of bacteria on the foreign body in mouse[4].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
