Abstract

The Aminoglycoside antibiotics are broad-spectrum Antibacterial compounds that are used extensively for the treatment of many Bacterial infections. In view of the current concerns over the global rise in antibiotic-resistant Microorganisms, there has been renewed interest in the mechanisms of resistance to the aminoglycosides, including the superfamily of aminoglycoside-modifying Enzymes.
