Study of In-Vitro Antiviral Activity of Aminoglycosides on Foot and Mouth Disease Virus

Since the discovery of penicillin in 1928 many antibiotics including aminoglycosides, blactams, fluoroquinolones, and others have been applied clinically for the treatment of many growing number of multidrug-resistant strains of bacteria. Aminoglycosides in particular are being examined to find new compounds or derivatives that might overcome the existing resistant pathogens and prevent or slow the development of novel resistant pathogens.
