Gentamicin

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic commonly used in cell culture to prevent and treat bacterial infections, particularly Gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, leading to the death of the bacteria. Gentamicin is often added to cell culture media to maintain sterility and prevent contamination without affecting the cells, though it is typically used in combination with other antibiotics like penicillin and streptomycin.
