Abstract

This book on neomycin is an excellent compilation f information on an antibiotic that has gained a permanent place among the useful therapeutic agents of today. Edited by Dr. Waksman and his associates, comprising a total of 35 contributors, no aspect of the story of neomycin is untouched from its brief history of less than ten years since its discovery in 1949 to its everyday use in clinical medicine at the present time. Neomycin has found a permanent place in the therapy of man and animals, and because it is not readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract it has become an ideal intestinal antiseptic agent as well as being highly useful in the treatment of many infectious diseases.
