    Background
    
    Arbekacin irreversibly binds to bacterial 30S and 16S ribosomal subunits thus inhibiting protein synthesis. Aminoglycosides such as bind to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of tRNA which leaves the bacterium unable to synthesize proteins.

- Applications
  - Application Description
    
    Spectrum: Arbekacin has broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus (MRSA) and Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia. It has a synergistic effect in combination with beta-lactams and has activity against multidrug-resistant strains and A. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii.
    
    Microbiology Applications: Arbekacin is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options.
