Antibiotic-Antimycotic Antibiotic-Antimycotic Antibiotic-Antimycotic is a solution that is commonly added to cell culture media to prevent contamination by various bacteria and fungi. It generally contains 10,000 units per milliliter penicillin, 10,000 micrograms per milliliter streptomycin, and 25 micrograms per milliliter amphotericin B. Penicillin is a Beta-lactam antibiotic that is effective in inhibiting Gram-positive bacteria. Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic which is effective against most Gram-negative bacteria. Amphotericin B is effective against multi-cellular fungi and yeasts. In human cell culture Antibiotic-Antimycotic solution was used to wash follicular aspirate and granulosa lutein cells to avoid microbial contamination during human oocyte retrieval for assisted
Antibiotic There are many different routes of administration for antibiotic treatment. Antibiotics are usually taken by mouth. In more severe cases, particularly deep-seated systemic infections, antibiotics can be given intravenously or by injection. Where the site of infection is easily accessed, antibiotics may be given topically in the form of eye drops onto the conjunctiva for conjunctivitis or ear drops for ear infections and acute cases of swimmer's ear. Topical use is also one of the treatment options for some skin conditions including acne and cellulitis. Advantages of topical application include achieving high and sustained concentration of antibiotic at the site
