Gentamicin sulfate salt, a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic, which has good resistance to many Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria capacity, even some β-Lactam sensitive anti vancomycin (VRE) enterococci, and some "superbacteria" resistant to glycopeptide antibiotics. Its antibacterial mechanism is that it binds to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosome, leads to codon error, blocks the transport of peptidyl tRNA from site a to site P, and thus inhibits the synthesis of bacterial proteins. Gentamicin sulfate is widely used in laboratories: 1) microbiological research, which is often used to screen sensitive bacteria in drug sensitivity experiments; 2) Inhibit bacterial contamination in cell culture, with an effective concentration of 0.5 - 50 µg/mL; 3) Molecular biology research is often used to selectively screen positive clones carrying gentamicin resistance genes, commonly used concentration: 15 µg/mL.
