Abstract
A method for collecting soft tissue interstitial fluid in experimental animals for the measurement of antibiotic concentrations is described. Diffusion chambers with permeable membranes of 0.45 µ porosity were implanted subcutaneously for four days in order to determine simultaneous concentrations of ampicillin and clindamycin in serum and chamber fluid after peroral administration in rabbits and of oxytetracycline after intravenous injection in dogs. The results are discussed in view of findings from other investigators using different types of tissue cages. Es wird eine Methode zur Bestimmung von Antibiotikakonzentrationen in interstitieller Flüssigkeit beschrieben. Nach subkutaner Implantation von Diffusionskammern mit permeablen Membranen (Millipore Filter 0.45 µ) wurden die Konzentrationen von Ampicillin und Clindamycin nach peroraler Applikation bei Kaninchen sowie von Oxytetracyclin nach intravenöser Verabreichung bei Hunden gleichzeitig in Serum und Kammerflüssigkeit bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse werden im Vergleich zu den Resultaten anderer Untersucher, die verschiedene Arten von “tissue cages” zur Gewinnung interstitieller Flüssigkeit verwendeten, diskutiert.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
