gentamicin and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

gentamicin has been researched along with Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in 4 studies

Gentamicins: A complex of closely related aminoglycosides obtained from MICROMONOSPORA purpurea and related species. They are broad-spectrum antibiotics, but may cause ear and kidney damage. They act to inhibit PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS.
