Biological Activity
| Description | Amikacin sulfate (BB-K8) binds to 16S rRNA (bacterial 30S ribosome), causing misreading of mRNA and supressing proteins synthesis. | |

|
| In vitro | Amikacin sulfate has high affinities for 16S rRNA of the bacterial 30S ribosome, causing misreading of mRNA and leaving the bacterium unable to synthesize proteins vital to its growth. [1] Amikacin is active in vitro against Pseudomonas species, [2] Escherichia coli[3], Proteus species (indole-positive and indole-negative), Providencia species, Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia species, Acinetobacter (formerly Mima-Herellea) species, and Citrobacter freundii.[4] [5] In vitro studies have shown that amikacin sulfate combined with a beta-lactam antibiotic acts synergistically against many clinically significant Gram-negative organisms. In vitro studies have shown that amikacin sulfate combined with beta-lactam antimicrobial agents including moxalactam or piperacillin acts synergistically against many clinically significant Gram-negative organisms. [6] | |
| In vivo | Amikacin (80 mg/kg i.v.) significantly reduced pseudomonal densities within aortic vegetations compared to controls in the experimental rabbit endocarditis model. In addition, amikacin given once daily is still more effective than the twice-daily regimen. [7] Amikacin given alone at a dose of 50 mg/kg, in one, two, or three divided doses, showed remarkable activity in model of Mycobacterium avium complex infections in beige mice. Addition of clofazimine increased the activity significantly. [8] |
