Generic Name: tobramycin
Brand Name: Nebcin injection
Drug Class: Aminoglycosides
What is tobramycin, and what is it used for?
Tobramycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the aminoglycosides class used to treat serious bacterial infections. Tobramycin is administered as intravenous or intramuscular injections for systemic infections. Tobramycin is also used in topical ophthalmic formulations and as inhalation solutions for lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Tobramycin is effective against most gram-negative bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus species of gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria are structurally different, and the types are identified by whether the bacteria get dyed or not in the Gram stain lab test. Gram-negative bacteria have an additional membrane outside the cell wall that gram-positive bacteria lack.
Tobramycin works by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins that bacteria require to survive and grow. Tobramycin binds to 30S and 50S subunits in the bacterial ribosomes (cellular particles that synthesize proteins) and prevents the formation of peptide chains, which results in bacterial cell membrane damage and cell death.
Tobramycin is usually administered after performing bacterial culture and susceptibility tests. In serious life-threatening infections suspected to be from gram-negative bacteria, tobramycin may be initiated before obtaining test results, however, the decision to continue is made depending on the test results. Tobramycin is approved by the FDA for the treatment of the following infections from susceptible bacterial strains:
- Bloodstream infections (septicemia)
- Lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia)
- Serious central nervous system infections (meningitis)
- Intra-abdominal infections including peritonitis
- Skin and skin structure infections
- Bone infections
- Complicated and recurrent urinary tract infections
Off-label uses include:
- Peritonitis treatment in peritoneal dialysis patients
- Plague (Yersinia pestis) treatment
Organisms susceptible to tobramycin include:
Gram-positive bacteria:
- Staphylococcus aureus
Gram-negative bacteria:
- Citrobacter species
- Enterobacter species
- Escherichia coli
- Klebsiella species
- Morganella morganii
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Proteus mirabilis
- Proteus vulgaris
- Providencia species
- Serratia species
Warnings
- Do not use tobramycin to treat patients with a history of hypersensitivity or toxic reactions to any aminoglycoside antibiotic.
- Tobramycin is neurotoxic, particularly to the ear and vestibular system (ototoxicity) and may affect hearing and balance. Patients with preexisting kidney damage or normal patients on high and/or prolonged therapy are at higher risk. Monitor patients for symptoms of ototoxicity and adjust dosage or discontinue drug accordingly.
- Tobramycin is potentially toxic to kidneys (nephrotoxic). The risk of nephrotoxicity is higher in patients undergoing high dosage prolonged therapy and in patients with impaired renal function, including elderly patients. Monitor renal function closely.
- Increased incidence of nephrotoxicity is reported with concomitant use of cephalosporin class of antibiotics with aminoglycosides.
- Aminoglycosides including tobramycin may be inactivated by beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporins in patients with severe renal impairment.
- Use with caution in premature infants and newborn babies because the kidneys are not fully developed, which can prolong the serum half-life of the drug.
- Neuromuscular blockade and respiratory paralysis have been reported following the use of aminoglycosides, especially when given soon after anesthesia or muscle relaxants. If blockage occurs, calcium salts may reverse these effects, but mechanical respiratory assistance may be necessary.
- Avoid concurrent use with other neurotoxic or nephrotoxic drugs including other aminoglycosides.
- Cumulative listing of drugs to avoid from all aminoglycosides include amphotericin B, bacitracin, cephaloridine, cisplatin, colistin, polymyxin B, vancomycin, and viomycin.
- Avoid use of potent diuretics such as ethacrynic acid and furosemide because they increase the risk of ototoxicity. When administered intravenously, diuretics may enhance aminoglycoside toxicity by altering antibiotic concentrations in serum and tissue.
- Monitor serum calcium, sodium and magnesium levels during tobramycin therapy.
- Discontinue tobramycin and initiate appropriate therapy if the patient develops allergic reactions. Although rare, serious, sometimes fatal, allergic reactions have been reported, including anaphylaxis, and severe skin reactions such as exfoliative dermatitis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema multiforme, and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.
- Tobramycin can cause Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) that may range from mild diarrhea to fatal colon inflammation (colitis).
- Consider possibility of clostridium difficile in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use; in case of suspected or confirmed CDAD:
- All antibiotics excluding those directed against C. difficile must be stopped
- Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted
- Patients with extensive burns or cystic fibrosis may have reduced concentration of tobramycin. Adjust dosage accordingly.
- Aminoglycosides including tobramycin should be used with caution in patients with muscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis or parkinsonism, since these drugs may aggravate muscle weakness.
- Aminoglycosides can cause fetal harm if administered during pregnancy. If pregnancy takes place during therapy, patient should be apprised of potential hazard to the fetus.
- Aminoglycosides have not been approved for intraocular and/or subconjunctival use, may damage the macula in the retina.
- Tobramycin therapy may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms which should be treated appropriately.

Overdose
- Oral ingestion of tobramycin is unlikely to cause any serious effects because aminoglycosides are poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Tobramycin injections are administered in a clinical setting and overdose may result with prolonged treatment and/or high dosages, particularly in patients with impaired renal function.
- Tobramycin overdose can result in nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Symptoms include kidney injury, dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. The severity of symptoms depends on the patient’s age, renal function, hydration state, and concurrent administration of other drugs with similar toxicities.
- Neurotoxicity from tobramycin can lead to neuromuscular blockade and respiratory paralysis/failure, especially when given soon after anesthesia or muscle relaxants.
- Overdose in patients with normal renal function may require only adequate hydration and monitoring. Hemodialysis may be beneficial for patients with renal impairment.
- Treatment of patients with respiratory paralysis or failure will require immediate establishment and maintenance of open airway with ventilation, oxygenation and resuscitative measures if necessary.

Is Pneumonia Contagious?
Pneumonia is inflammation of the lung usually caused by bacterial or viral infection (rarely, also by fungi) that causes the air sacs to fill with pus. If inflammation affects both lungs, the infection is termed double pneumonia. If it affects one lung, it is termed single pneumonia. If it affects only a certain lobe of a lung it's termed lobar pneumonia. Most pneumonias are caused by bacteria and viruses, but some pneumonias are caused by inhaling toxic chemicals that damage lung tissue.
