Aminoglycosides are used primarily for synergy in treating infections caused by:

  1. Gram-negative bacteria

  2. Pseudomonas

  3. Gram-positive bacteria

  4. Anaerobes

The correct answer is: Gram-positive bacteria

Aminoglycosides are antibiotics that are primarily used for treating infections caused by aerobic gram-negative bacteria. They work by inhibiting protein synthesis in the bacterial cell. Although they can be used in synergy with other antibiotics to treat certain infections caused by gram-positive bacteria, their primary indication is for gram-negative bacterial infections.
