etimicin-sulphate

Description: Etimicin Sulphate is a novel, potent, fourth generation semisynthetic aminoglycoside class of antitiotic. It has good antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections and also against aminoglycoside resistant strains. In the present study, in vitro antibacterial activity of etimicin was determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and time kill curve tests against type strains and 407 clinical isolates (obtained in a surveillance study), in comparison to other aminoglycosides. Test results revealed that etimicin has potential antimicrobial activity and MIC, MBC values for etimicin were low compared to other aminoglycosides.
