Aminoglycosides are concentration-dependent antibiotics exerting a bactericidal effect when concentrations at the site of infection are equal to or greater than 5 times the minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC).When ...
Background: Use of inappropriate amikacin dose is one of the most important factors in inducing toxicity, prolonged hospitalization as well as in increasing patient’s mortality. Objective: The aims of this study are ...

Etimicin(ETM),a fourth-generation aminoglycosides(AGs),is now widely clinically used in China due to its high efficacy and low toxicity.However,the mechanisms underlying its low nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity remain u...
Background: Aerosolized amikacin (AA) is a current option for the management of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB), as it is reported that AA co...
Objective: To characterize amikacin pharmacokinetics in serum and in blister fluid of severe burn patients to guide optimal treatment timing. Methods: Patients (N = 32) were divided into four groups based on amikacin ...
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumanii (A. baumanii) caused hospital acquired infection, typically in critical-ill patients with medical devices. This is a retrospective descriptive study on epidemiology and...
