Abstract
Kanamycin sulfate, originally isolated and studied by Umezawa and his associates at the Japanese National Institute of Health and at Tokyo University, has wide antimicrobial Preliminary studies in the United States have confirmed this finding as reported in February 1958.6 The present study was undertaken to obtain preliminary information on the use of this drug in infants and children. Certain bacteriological studies were made on freshly isolated bacterial species. Serum concentrations of the drug were analyzed following a variety of intramuscular doses of kanamycin sulfate. Finally, a group of infants and children was treated with this new antimicrobial drug The results of these studies are reported below.
Kanamycin sulfate shows promising antimicrobial activity in infants and children, with potential for use in treating infections.
