objective: in dental treatments, use of carriers for targeted antibiotic delivery would be optimal to efficiently decrease microbial count. in this study, gentamicin was loaded into polylactic co-glycolic acid (plga) microspheres and its release pattern was evaluated for 20 days.   methods: in this experimental study, plga microspheres loaded with gentamycin were produced by the w/o/w method. t...

Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were isolated from eye swab samples randomly obtained from 100 seropositive HIV/AIDS patients who reported to various anti-retroviral treatment clinics at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital and Central Hospital both based in Benin City, Nigeria. Invitro antibiotic sensitivity patterns of strains before curing were determined by the...

This experiment was designed to investigate cellular and subcellular maturational changes in regenerated immature sensory cells and support cells of the chick basilar papilla following gentamycin treatment. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used. The experimental animals received one subcutaneous injection of gentamycin sulfate daily (50 mg/kg) for five or 10 days. The animals ...
