    Area of Science:

    • Medical Microbiology
    • Pharmacology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Surgical infections pose significant clinical challenges.
    • Aminoglycoside antibiotics are crucial in combating bacterial infections.
    • Key pathogens include Staphylococcus, E. coli, Proteus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of kanamycin, gentamicin, and tobramycin against major surgical infection agents.
    • To assess the pharmacokinetic profile of these aminoglycoside antibiotics following intramuscular administration.
    • To determine the clinical utility of these antibiotics in the therapy and prophylaxis of infections.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro susceptibility testing of aminoglycosides against Staphylococcus, E. coli, Proteus, and P. aeruginosa.

  • Intramuscular administration of gentamicin and tobramycin in specified dosages.
  • Measurement of serum antibiotic concentrations to determine therapeutic levels.
  • Comparison of achieved blood levels with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs).

    • Main Results:

    • All tested aminoglycoside antibiotics exhibited effectiveness against the studied bacterial pathogens.
    • Tobramycin showed the highest in vitro activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    • Intramuscular administration resulted in satisfactory absorption and therapeutic blood concentrations.
    • Dosages of 80 mg gentamicin and 50 mg tobramycin (1-2 times daily) achieved levels above MICs for gram-negative flora, including P. aeruginosa.

    Conclusions:

    • Aminoglycoside antibiotics like kanamycin, gentamicin, and tobramycin are effective against common surgical pathogens.
    • Tobramycin exhibits superior activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    • Intramuscular administration ensures adequate bioavailability for therapeutic efficacy.
    • These aminoglycosides are valuable for treating and preventing infections, particularly those caused by P. aeruginosa.
