L. Bertok et al., THE EFFECT OF KANAMYCIN TREATMENT OF RATS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF GASTROINTESTINAL SYNDROME OF RADIATION DISEASE, Acta microbiologica Hungarica, 39(2), 1992, pp. 155-158
Kanamycin pretreatment through stomach tube eliminates the endotoxin p
roducing Gram-negative bacteria of the intestinal flora and can delay
the death of rats suffering from gastro-intestinal syndrome of radiati
on disease. Endotoxins probably play a significant role in the patholo
gical process of the syndrome.
