Cytotoxic effect of aminoglycoside antibiotics on the mammalian cell lines
Aminoglycoside antibiotics have been used for treating serious but also routine infections in veterinary and human medicine for many years. The basic aim of this work is to evaluate the cytotoxicity of dihydrostreptomycin and neomycin in vitro on three cell cultures - BHK-21 (Syrian golden hamster k...

Summary: | Aminoglycoside antibiotics have been used for treating serious but also routine infections in veterinary and human medicine for many years. The basic aim of this work is to evaluate the cytotoxicity of dihydrostreptomycin and neomycin in vitro on three cell cultures - BHK-21 (Syrian golden hamster kidney fibroblast), VERO (African green monkey kidney fibroblast) and FEA (feline embryonic fibroblast) cells. The morphological changes were examined by Giemsa staining. Cells were dried and visualized under fluorescence microscope. After the exposure to different experimental doses of dihydrostreptomycin (812.5-20000 µg/mL) and neomycin (1000-20000 µg/mL) during 24 h, the viability of BHK-21, FEA and VERO cell lines were evaluated by MTT assay. Viability of BHK-21 cells significantly (P |
