[Experimental investigations concerning a topical application of sisomicin in the eye (author's transl)]. 1978

U Mester, and C Krasemann, and H J Stein

Sisomicin is a new aminoglycoside, which sometimes is active against bacterial isolates resistant to other antibiotics of this group. The compatibility of sisomicin and its penetration into the different tissues of the eye were studied in rabbits. The substance was well tolerated, when applied as drops or injected subconjunctivally. Concentrations of sisomicin which are effective against most bacteria were found in the cornea and in the aqueous humour, but it did not penetrate into the vitreous body.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.

D005123 Eye The organ of sight constituting a pair of globular organs made up of a three-layered roughly spherical structure specialized for receiving and responding to light. Eyes
D005839 Gentamicins A complex of closely related aminoglycosides obtained from MICROMONOSPORA purpurea and related species. They are broad-spectrum antibiotics, but may cause ear and kidney damage. They act to inhibit PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS.

D001082 Aqueous Humor The clear, watery fluid which fills the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye. It has a refractive index lower than the crystalline lens, which it surrounds, and is involved in the metabolism of the cornea and the crystalline lens.
