An aminoglycoside antibiotic active against gram-positive bacteria. Sisomicin closely resembles gentamicin but is more effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and indole-positive Proteus. It interferes with protein synthesis at the level of functional ribosome assembly.
Application Notes
Sisomicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated from Micromonopora inyoensis. It is effective against most strains of Klebsiellk spp., Escherichia coli, P. aeruginosa, Enterobacter and Proteus spp.. It is a potential treatment for conjunctiva. It is used in disk and tube dilution sensitivity test.
