Netromycin

Drug name: Netromycin

Active Ingredients:

Netilmicin

Therapeutic actions: Netromycin is a half-synthetic broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic. Netilmicin works by binding to 30S subunits of the Palades' granule and inhibiting the protein's synthesis. Binding to 30S subunits of the Palades' granule leads the disturbance of the genetic code reading resulting in production of the abnormal proteins. Palades' granules are broken down and lose the ability to synthesize proteins. In high dosages Netilmicin reduces the barrier function of the bacterial membrane and causes the lysis of the bacteria. Netilmicin is highly effective against Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Serratia spp., Providencia spp., Enterobacter spp., Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Citrobacter spp., Morganella morganii, Aeromonas spp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae, spp., Shigella spp and some strains of Gram-positive microorganisms((Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus spp.)
