Specifications
Target Information
Amikacin is a semi-synthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from kanamycin. In veterinary practice, it is primarily used to treat severe infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria in horses, companion animals, and occasionally in food-producing livestock (though its use in the latter is strictly regulated). It is significant to food safety because its residues in animal tissues-particularly the kidneys and liver-can lead to potential nephrotoxicity or ototoxicity in humans if consumed. Due to these risks, many regulatory bodies require specific withdrawal periods and have established strict Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for animal-derived products.
