Etymology
Tobramycin is built from tobra- plus the common antibiotic ending -mycin, and -mycin comes from a root meaning 'fungus' because many of these drugs were first found in fungus-like microbes. So, when you see -mycin you can remember tobramycin is the name of an antibiotic used to fight bacterial infections.
