Overview

Gentamicin Sulfate is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic widely used in microbiological research and laboratory applications. It exerts antibacterial activity by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of mRNA and inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis, resulting in bactericidal effects under laboratory conditions.

The compound is particularly active against a wide range of Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens, Citrobacter species, Enterobacteriaceae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Activity against certain Gram-positive organisms has also been reported in research settings.

Gentamicin Sulfate is the sulfate salt form of gentamicin, offering improved stability and solubility for use in aqueous laboratory systems and selective culture media.

Applications

  • Microbiological research and method development

  • Selective agent in bacterial culture media

  • Antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance studies

  • Studies of bacterial protein synthesis and aminoglycoside mechanisms

Mechanism of Action

Gentamicin binds irreversibly to the 30S ribosomal subunit, disrupting initiation of protein synthesis and causing translational errors. This leads to inhibition of bacterial growth and cell death in susceptible organisms.
