Pharmacokinetics of gentamicin administered intratracheally to rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pharmacokinetics of intratracheally instilled and intravenously injected gentamicin were compared in the rat and analyzed by a one-compartment open model. The maximum concentration of gentamicin in plasma occurred within 10 min after intratracheal instillation. Considerable amounts of gentamicin were absorbed from lungs after intratracheal instillation, as shown by its concentrations in plasma and elimination in urine. The data suggest that the absorption of gentamicin from the pulmonary system would be sufficient to maintain therapeutic levels of this agent in plasma.

Gentamicin is a bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic, it inhibits the protein synthesis. Gentamicin is active against the majority of aerobic gram-negative bacilli such as Pseudomonas, Klebsiella and Escherichia coli. The gentamicin doses are 3 mg/kg once-daily for preterm newborns < 35 weeks of gestation and 4 mg/kg once-daily for newborns > 35 weeks of gestation. The monitoring of gentamici...

We compared the efficacy of ceftriaxone combined with gentamicin, both given once a day, with that of cloxacillin given every 4 h plus gentamicin given once a day or in three daily doses (t.i.d.) for the treatment of experimental methicillin-susceptible staphylococcal endocarditis. The antibiotics were administered by using human-like (H-L) pharmacokinetics that simulated the profiles of these ...

With the aim of investigating home therapy for enterococcal endocarditis, we compared the efficacy of teicoplanin combined with gentamicin given once a day or in three daily doses (t.i.d.) with the standard treatment, ampicillin plus gentamicin administered t.i.d., for treating experimental enterococcal endocarditis. The antibiotics were administered by using "human-like pharmacokinetics" (H-L)...

The objective of the present study was to determine the pharmacokinetics and efficacies of liposomal and conventional formulations of tobramycin against Burkholderia cepacia in a model of chronic lung infection. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were inoculated intratracheally with 10(6) CFU of a very resistant strain of B. cepacia (strain BC 1368; MIC, 128 micro g/ml) to establish lung infection. A 1,2...
