Simple method for elimination of aminoglycosides from serum to permit bioassay of other antimicrobial agents.

چکیده
Cellulose phosphate powder can be added to serum to selectively bind aminoglycosides by ionic interaction without binding or inactivation of the penicillins, the cephalosporins, clindamycin, vancomycin, chloramphenicol, or trimethoprim. This simple, rapid technique permits the measurement of non-aminoglycoside antibiotics in the presence of aminoglycosides.

Simple assay for clindamycin in the presence of aminoglycosides.
The presence of aminoglycoside antibiotics interferes with the determination of clindamycin levels by standard microbiological assay. A new bioassay method of quantitation of clindamycin in the presence of aminoglycosides is presented. This technique is based on the fact that incorporation of calcium chloride into assay agar blocks the antimicrobial activity of aminoglycosides against Sarcina l...
متن کاملHow rational Aminoglycosides are being used in critically ill patients? Results from a teaching hospital in north of Iran
Background: Resistance to antimicrobial agents including aminoglycosides (AGs) is a great concern that is mainly related to inappropriate use. Since there were not adequate data regarding how rationally AGs are being prescribed in our critically ill patients, this study was conducted to determine the main issues in the area of appropriate use of this antibiotic class. Methods: One hundred...
متن کاملComparison of five methods for the assay of serum gentamicin.
The microbiological bioassay, the adenylation method, and the radiometric, enzyme, and fluorescent immunoassay methods for assaying serum gentamicin were compared. The precision, reproducibility, and specificity of each method was assessed and proved satisfactory, with the exception of the radioimmunoassay, which gave artificially high results. Good correlations between the other four methods w...
متن کاملDetermination of voriconazole serum concentration by bioassay, a valid method for therapeutic drug monitoring for clinical laboratories.
We describe here a simple, fast, and reliable bioassay method for therapeutic drug monitoring of voriconazole. Fifty-eight clinical and external quality control samples were evaluated with this microbiological assay, and results were compared with those obtained with a previously validated chromatographic method. A good correlation between both assays was observed. This particular microbiologic...
متن کاملAssay of gentamicin in serum by high-pressure liquid chromatography.
A procedure is described that uses high-pressure liquid chromatography for assay of gentamicin in serum. The technique involves extraction of gentamicin from serum by using a CM-Sephadex column and analysis by reverse-phase, ion-pair chromatography. Continuous-flow, post-column derivatization with o-phthaladehyde is used to form fluorescent products for detection. The possible scope of this met...
