| Application: | Amikacin hydrate is used in antimicrobial susceptibility studies of organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Ehrlichia phagocytophila. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Amikacin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosome subunit and inducing mRNA misreading. It interferes with the translocation of tRNA from the A-site to the P-site. |
