Oral Aminoglycosides

Oral aminoglycosides represent an orally administered route-specific subclass of aminoglycoside antimicrobial agents, predominantly including neomycin and paromomycin Because they exhibit negligible systemic gastrointestinal absorption, these agents exert localized intraluminal effects by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit to inhibit protein synthesis and disrupt cellular integrity Rather than treating systemic bacteremia, oral aminoglycosides are primarily utilized to decontaminate the bowel ...
