Abstract
The hypothesis according to which polycationic antibiotics produce neuromuscular block by interfering with the Ca current of motor nerve terminals has been examined using external electrodes in nerve-muscle preparations of the mouse. It was found that kanamycin, bekanamycin and polymyxin B depressed presynaptic Ca currents probably by neutralizing negative surface charges.Entities:
