Why is this medication prescribed

Amikacin is most often used for treating severe, hospital-acquired infections with multidrug resistant Gram negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, and Enterobacter.

Amikacin may be combined with a beta-lactam antibiotic for empiric therapy for people with neutropenia and fever.
