Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy of i.m.-administered kanamycin was compared with the efficacy of aerosol-administered kanamycin in K. pneumoniae-infected squirrel monkeys. Differences in mortality or morbidity were not seen with equivalent dosages of antibiotic ranging 15-6.9 mg/kg of body wt/day. Seemingly, the i.m. route of kanamycin administration was as effective as the aerosol route for therapy.
