Sisomicin

It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from "Micromonospora" bacteria. It is closely related to gentamicin.

Uses:It is used in the treatment of the infections caused by Serratia and indole positive Proteus species.

Ribostamycin

It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Mechanism of Action:
It binds to 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria resulting in the reduction of the synthesis of the bacterial proteins.

Paromomycin

It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.

Action:
It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 16S rRNA.

Uses:It is used for the treatment of both acute as well as chronic intestinal amebiasis.

Netilmicin

It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.It is derived from sisomycin and is similar in action to gentamicin.

Isepamicin

It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic similar in action to amikacin.

Habekacin

It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.

It is similar in action to kanamycin and gentamicin.

Framycetin

It is an aminoglycoside and is a component of neomycin.

Mechanism of Action:
It binds to 30S subunit proteins and 16S rRNA resulting in the production of nonfunctional peptides.

Uses:It is used for the treatment of bacterial blepharitis and corneal injuries. It is also used for the treatment of Conjunctivitis.
