Couldn't find this in FA or SketchyMicro, but it seems that
"the role of aminoglycosides in the treatment of infective endocarditis is well established. The combination of a beta-lactam with an aminoglycoside shortens the treatment of endocarditis due to... streptococci" 1996 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8677414
and "Aminoglycosides are often used in combination with glycopeptides (such as vancomycin) and β-lactams for the treatment of bacterial endocarditis caused by α-haemolytic streptococci, staphylococci and enterococci." 2002 https://academic.oup.com/jac/article/49/3/437/727559

Aminoglycosides (Which inhibits 30S) are coupled with cell wall active agents - e.g. Penicillins, Vancomycin
