abstract：:Gentamicin is a commonly used antibiotic for the treatment of gram-negative-bacterial infections. Bacterial endotoxin is liberated during antibiotic therapy, and we have shown that endotoxemic animals accumulate more aminoglycosides in their renal parenchyma than normal animals. Vasoactive mediators, such as prostagla...
