Amikacin is one of the newer aminoglycoside antibiotics. The penetration of amikacin into the human primary aqueous humor after intramuscular application was investigated. Comparing our results with reports concerning the blood aqueous permeability of gentamicin and tobramycin we could not find any significantly better penetration of amikacin into the human aqueous humor after i.m. injection. The advantage of amikacin lies in its effectiveness against bacteria resistant to other aminoglycosides.
