Tobramycin Sulfate is the sulfate salt of tobramycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from the bacterium Streptomyces tenebrarius with bactericidal activity. Following active transport into the cell, tobramycin binds irreversibly to a specific aminoglycoside receptor on the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and fixes the 30 S-50 S ribosomal complex at the start codon (AUG), interfering with the initiation of protein synthesis.
Tobramycin Sulfate is an antibiofilm formulations.
Used in the treatment of septicemia (bloodstream infection), infections of the skin, bone, lower respiratory tract, central nervous system, intra-abdominal and complicated recurrent urinary tract infections.
