description Product Description
Gentamycin sulfate is widely used as an antibiotic in both human and veterinary medicine. It is particularly effective against a broad range of bacterial infections, including those caused by Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. In clinical settings, it is commonly administered to treat serious infections such as sepsis, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin and soft tissues. It is also used in the treatment of eye infections, often in the form of eye drops or ointments. In veterinary medicine, gentamycin sulfate is utilized to manage bacterial infections in animals, including livestock and pets. Additionally, it is sometimes incorporated into topical creams and solutions for wound care and to prevent infections in burns or surgical sites. In laboratory and biotechnology applications, gentamycin sulfate is commonly used in cell culture media as an antibiotic to prevent bacterial contamination, especially in mammalian cell cultures. Its potent antibacterial properties make it a critical component in combating resistant bacterial strains, though its use is carefully monitored due to potential side effects like nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity.
