ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A retrospective study of ten patients with infant botulism who received gentamicin or kanamycin suggests that aminoglycoside antibiotics potentiate muscular weakness and precipitate respiratory failure as late as 27 days after onset of the disease."3.66Potentiation of neuromuscular weakness in infant botulism by aminoglycosides.
