Aminoglycosides Pharmacology Nursing Antibiotics: Mechanism of Action, Mnemonic, Anti-Infectives
Aminoglycosides primarily target gram-negative bacteria, though they can also be effective in some gram-positive ones as well.

Here are the aminoglycosides you'll want to remember, and we share a few mnemonics throughout the video as well:

-Gentamicin

-Neomycin

-Amikacin

-Tobramycin

-Streptomycin

This class of antibiotics is most often administered via IM (intramuscular) or IV (intravenous), though it may be administered orally or via inhalation in rare instances.

What is the mechanism of action for aminoglycosides? This medication primarily works to kill bacteria (it's bactericidal), and it does this by inhibiting the bacteria's protein synthesis.
Lesson on Aminoglycoside Antibiotics. Aminoglycoside antibiotics all have the suffix of -mycin, -micin or -cin and may be confused with the macrolides, which have the suffix -thromycin. Aminoglycosides are almost always used in conjunction with another antibiotic and are administered parenterally. Bacterial targets for aminoglycosides include gram negative coverage. There are specific side effects with use of aminoglycosides as well, which we also discuss in this lesson.
