Tobramycin (also named aktob or tobi) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that can be used to treat various gram-negative bacterial infections such as the species of Pseudomonas. Bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit protein and four nucleotides of 16S rRNA will be bound with tobramycin irreversibly to cause misreading of mRNA; so that formation of mRNA could be prevented because of incorrect insertion of amino acids to polypeptide will result nonfunctional or toxic peptides. Therefore, there is no protein synthesis for bacteria.
