Apramycin is an aminoglycoside that is bactericidal against many gramnegative bacteria (E. coli, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Proteus, Pasturella, Treponema hyodysenteriae, Bordetella bronchiseptica), Staphylococcus and Mycoplasma. It prevents protein synthesis by susceptible bacteria, presumably by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit.

Should substantial amounts of the drug be absorbed, both ototoxicity and
nephrotoxicity are a distinct possibility
