Abstract
The absorption and retention of kanamycin by the pulmonary system was evaluated after aerosol administration to rats. Tissue level concentrations of the drug were assayed by the agar-plate bioassay method. Mean concentrations of 6.58 μg/g and 3.52 μg/g were found in the lung and kidney homogenates, respectively, 26 hr after the final exposure period. No detectable level was found in the plasma.Keywords
