Antibiotics are the chemotherapeutic agents that kill or inhibit the pathogenic microorganisms. Resistance of microorganism to antibiotics is a growing problem around the world due to indiscriminate and irrational use of antibiotics. In order to overcome the resistance problem and to safely use antibiotics, the correct measurement of potency and bioactivity of antibiotics is essential. Microbio...

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of amphotericin B concentrations in human serum without bilirubin interference was developed and compared with a microbiological assay. The high-performance liquid chromatographic assay utilized a reversed-phase trimethyl silica column, simple sample preparation, and visible detection. Reproducibility studies yielded coeffic...

A commercial kit for the radioisotopic assay of folate in serum, the Bio-Rad 'Quanta Count' folate kit, produced lower results than the Lactobacillus casei microbiological assay method. Its normal range was 2-0-13-0 microng/l and the reproducibility was similar to that of the microbiological assay method. The kit was also satisfactory for whole bood folate assays. The cost requires careful cons...
