Aminoglycosides primarily target gram-negative bacteria, though they can also be effective in some gram-positive ones as well.

Here are the aminoglycosides you'll want to remember, and we share a few mnemonics throughout the video as well:

-Gentamicin
-Neomycin
-Amikacin
-Tobramycin
-Streptomycin

This class of antibiotics is most often administered via IM (intramuscular) or IV (intravenous), though it may be administered orally or via inhalation in rare instances.
