A New Aminoglycoside in the Treatment of Septic Burn Patients

Andrew M. Munster, MD

Arch Surg. 1979;114(1):28-30.

Abstract
• Netilmicin sulfate, a new aminoglycoside antibiotic, was administered to ten patients with thermal burns who were suffering from septic complications, usually burn wound sepsis. There were seven survivors. Eighty-three percent of all clinical isolates recovered showed sensitivity to the drug. No renal or auditory side effects were noted in any of the patients.
