An aminoglycoside antibiotic discovered in 1963 in New Jersey, USA, by the team of Marvin Weinstein, produced by the bacterium Micromonospora purpurea; in use since 1964 mainly against Gram-negative infections. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, nitrosamines and other impurities.
