In vitro comparison of four aminoglycoside antibiotics: sisomicin, gentamicin, tobramycin, and BB-K8.
The activity of sisomicin, gentamicin, and tobramycin against 273 clinical bacterial isolates was about equal (except for greater activity of tobramycin against Pseudomonas) and was greater than that of BB-K 8 as determined by antibiotic dilution methods in agar and broth.
