Gentamicin ELISA kits are assays designed to detect the antibiotic gentamicin. Belonging to the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics, it is produced by the bacterium Micromonospora purpurea. It mainly affects against Gram-negative bacteria, such as E. coli, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella but can be effective against Gram-positive microbes as well. It inhibits protein synthesis by irreversibly binding to 30s ribosomal subunits. It is used for the treatment of conditions such as pneumonia, endocarditis, and sepsis.
