Gentamicin (formulated as gentamicin sulfate) is a well-known, well-characterized antibiotic that has been used for four decades as a treatment against gram negative bacteria. It, like other aminoglycoside antibiotics, has the well documented added potential to facilitate readthrough of premature termination codons in eukaryotic cells and organisms.
