Aminoglycosides are a class of bactericidal antibiotics that are effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, though they work best against gram-negatives. They inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the bacterial ribosome. While hydrophilic and water soluble, they are not absorbed orally and must be administered parenterally. Their primary route of elimination is through the kidney, so renal impairment can cause nephrotoxicity due to accumulation. Resistance develops through enzymatic modification of the aminoglycoside.
