Gentamicin X2 sulfate (Cat No.:R000848) is one of the minor components of the gentamicin complex, a group of aminoglycoside antibiotics primarily used to treat serious bacterial infections caused by Gram-negative organisms. Like other gentamicin components, Gentamicin X2 works by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis, and leading to bacterial cell death. The sulfate form improves the compound’s solubility in water, making it suitable for use in injectable formulations. Gentamicin is commonly used in hospitals to treat severe infections like sepsis, urinary tract infections, and respiratory infections, particularly in cases where other antibiotics are ineffective.
