Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Microbiology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Aminoglycoside antibiotics, discovered in the 1940s, were vital for treating tuberculosis and other severe bacterial infections.
  • Despite initial widespread use, renal and auditory toxicity led to decreased application in the 1970s and 1980s.
  • Currently, aminoglycosides are globally prevalent due to their high efficacy and affordability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
  • To detail the pathophysiology, risk factors, and incidence of aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity.
  • To discuss recent advancements in therapeutic interventions for preventing ototoxicity.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review summarizing historical, chemical, and antibacterial aspects.
