Topical use of antibiotics in the treatment of wound infections as exemplified by the effects of neomycin

Abstract

The problem of effective treatment of the local surgical soft tissue infection has not yet been completely solved. The use of topical antibiotics, in particular neomycin, is one of the possible ways to solve this problem. The use of topical drugs that contain neomycin or combinations of neomycin and other antibiotics showed high efficacy of these drugs in the comprehensive treatment of wounds in various pathologies in combination with a low incidence of undesirable reactions.
