What is another word for Aminoglycoside Antibiotics?
Pronunciation: [ɐmˈɪnəɡlˌɪkəsˌa͡ɪd ˌantɪba͡ɪˈɒtɪks] (IPA) 
Aminoglycoside antibiotics are a class of drugs that are commonly used to treat bacterial infections. These medications work by binding to the bacterial ribosome, preventing the bacteria from producing proteins, and subsequently killing them. There are several synonyms for aminoglycoside antibiotics, including gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, neomycin, and streptomycin. These drugs are particularly effective against gram-negative bacteria, which are often resistant to other types of antibiotics. However, aminoglycoside antibiotics can also be toxic to the kidneys and ears in some individuals, so they are used with caution and only in specific circumstances.
