Tobramycin is one of the aminoglycoside class of bactericidal drugs, also including streptomycin, neomycin, netilmycin, sisomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, and amikacin. Due to toxic effects associated with aminoglycosides manifest as delayed-onset vestibular and cochlear sensory cell destruction and acute renal tubular necrosis, the goal of monitoring is to maintain therapeutic plasma concentration at minimum risk to patients.
