OBJECTIVE: To characterize the elution and bioactivity of metronidazole and gentamicin sulfate polymerized, individually and in combination, with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). STUDY DESIGN: In vitro experimental study. METHODS: PMMA beads containing metronidazole (3 concentrations), gentamicin sulfate, or metronidazole and gentamicin sulfate were immersed in 5 mL of phosphate-buffered saline in triplicate. Eluent was replaced at specified time intervals for 1 or 21 days, and antibiotic concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Changes in antibiotic bioactivity attributable to polymerization or copolymerization of the antibiotics with PMMA, ethylene oxide sterilization, and storage of AIPMMA beads containing metronidazole were evaluated. RESULTS: Antibiotic elution patterns were similar for all groups. Day 1 elution for groups containing metronidazole or gentamicin individually represented a mean 63%-66% and 79%, respectively, of the 21-day total. Approximately 50% of the day 1 elution occurred during the first hour. The elution of metronidazole was dose dependent. The elution of metronidazole (day 3-21) and gentamicin (all days) was significantly greater when metronidazole and gentamicin were combined (P <.05). The addition of metronidazole delayed polymerization of PMMA. Neither polymerization nor copolymerization of metronidazole and gentamicin with PMMA, gas sterilization, or 2-month storage of beads containing metronidazole significantly affected antimicrobial bioactivity. CONCLUSIONS: Metronidazole elution from PMMA was dose dependent. Copolymerization of metronidazole and gentamicin sulfate in PMMA resulted in increased rates of elution. Intraoperative preparation of metronidazole-impregnated PMMA beads is not practical, but sterilization and storage for 2 months should not affect efficacy. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The local delivery of biologically active metronidazole and gentamicin by elution from PMMA is feasible.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of intra-articular gentamicin-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) beads inserted in the equine tarsocrural joint on the synovial fluid, synovial lining, and cartilage, and to determine the peak and sustainable gentamicin concentrations in synovial fluid and plasma. STUDY DESIGN: Pharmacokinetic, cytologic, and histologic study of the effect of gentamicin-impregnated PMMA on normal equine tarsocrural joints. ANIMALS: Five healthy adult horses. METHODS: Gentamicin-impregnated PMMA bead strands (3 strands each of 40 beads, with each strand containing 100 mg gentamicin) were surgically inserted into one radiographically normal tarsocrural joint in 5 horses. Each horse had both joints flushed with 1 L of lactated Ringer's solution before bead administration. Synovial fluid total protein concentration, white blood cell (WBC) count, gentamicin concentration, synovial histology, cartilage integrity, and cartilage glycosaminoglycan (GAG) concentrations were determined. RESULTS: Gentamicin concentration (mean +/- SEM peak concentration, 27.9 +/- 2.27 microg/mL) occurred in the first 24 hours and remained above 2 microg/mL for 9 days. Gentamicin concentrations in control joints and the plasma remained below detectable levels. The synovial fluid WBC count for treated joints was increased compared with control joints for 72 hours, but was similar at day 6. The synovial protein concentration in gentamicin-treated joints remained increased for 21 days. Synovium in treated joints had diffuse synovitis, whereas control joints had less fibrovascular proliferation. Superficial cartilage erosion was present in all treated joints. There was no difference in the GAG content of treated and control joint cartilage. CONCLUSIONS: Short-term implantation of gentamicin (300 mg)-impregnated PMMA beads can provide therapeutic levels of gentamicin (>2 microg/mL) in the normal tarsocrural joint for 9 days; however, gentamicin-impregnated PMMA beads induce synovitis and superficial cartilage erosion. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Temporary intra-articular administration of antibiotic-impregnated PMMA may be an effective way to treat septic joints that require constant high concentrations of antibiotics.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the elution characteristics of ceftiofur and liquid and powdered gentamicin and amikacin from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and from hydroxyapatite cement (HAC). METHODS: PMMA and HAC beads in triplicate were impregnated with various amounts and formulations of antibiotics. Beads were immersed in 5 mL of phosphate buffered saline that was replaced at 1, 3, 6, and 12 hours, and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30 days. The eluent was stored at -70 degrees C until assayed within 2 weeks by microbiological assay (gentamicin and amikacin) or capillary electrophoresis (ceftiofur). RESULTS: Rate of elution for all beads was greatest within the first 24 hours. Cumulative release of total antibiotic dose from beads over 30 days was significantly greater from HAC than PMMA. Antibiotic elution was directly related to the amount of antibiotic incorporated into the cement. Powdered and liquid forms of gentamicin had similar elution rates from PMMA. Elution of amikacin from PMMA beads was greater when the powdered form was used compared with liquid amikacin. Eluent concentrations of ceftiofur were similar to those of the aminoglycosides during the first 3 to 7 days but then decreased precipitously by comparison. CONCLUSIONS: Elution of antibiotics from HAC was greater than from PMMA. Gentamicin- and amikacin-impregnated PMMA and HAC released bactericidal concentrations of antibiotic for at least 30 days. Ceftiofur-impregnated PMMA or HAC is unlikely to provide long-term bactericidal concentrations. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Gentamicin and amikacin elute effectively from PMMA and HAC.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare gentamicin concentrations achieved in synovial fluid and joint tissues during IV administration and continuous intra-articular (IA) infusion of the tarsocrural joint in horses. ANIMALS: 18 horses with clinically normal tarsocrural joints. PROCEDURE: Horses were assigned to 3 groups (6 horses/group) and administered gentamicin (6.6 mg/kg, IV, q 24 h for 4 days; group 1), a continuous IA infusion of gentamicin into the tarsocrural joint (50 mg/h for 73 hours; group 2), or both treatments (group 3). Serum, synovial fluid, and joint tissue samples were collected for measurement of gentamicin at various time points during and 73 hours after initiation of treatment. Gentamicin concentrations were compared by use of a Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA. RESULTS: At 73 hours, mean +/- SE gentamicin concentrations in synovial fluid, synovial membrane, joint capsule, subchondral bone, and collateral ligament of group 1 horses were 11.5 +/- 1.5 microg/mL, 21.1 +/- 3.0 microg/g, 17.1 +/- 1.4 microg/g, 9.8 +/- 2.0 microg/g, and 5.9 +/- 0.7 microg/g, respectively. Corresponding concentrations in group 2 horses were 458.7 +/- 130.3 microg/mL, 496.8 +/- 126.5 microg/g, 128.5 +/- 74.2 microg/g, 99.4 +/- 47.3 microg/g, and 13.5 +/- 7.6 microg/g, respectively. Gentamicin concentrations in synovial fluid, synovial membrane, and joint capsule of group 1 horses were significantly lower than concentrations in those samples for horses in groups 2 and 3. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Continuous IA infusion of gentamicin achieves higher drug concentrations in joint tissues of normal tarsocrural joints of horses, compared with concentrations after IV administration.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess gentamicin concentrations in serum and bronchial lavage fluid (BLF) of horses during a 24-hour period after once-daily aerosol administration of gentamicin (GAER) for 7 days and the pattern and degree of bronchial tree inflammation associated with repeated GAER. ANIMALS: 13 healthy adult horses (9 geldings and 4 mares). PROCEDURE: The treatment group comprised 8 horses, and 5 horses were untreated control animals. Gentamicin (20 mL of gentamicin [50 mg/mL]) was administered via aerosol once daily for 7 days. Samples of serum and BLF were obtained from all horses before GAER and 0.5, 4, 8, and 24 hours after the final day of GAER. Gentamicin concentrations were determined for all samples from treated horses, and cytologic examinations were performed on all BLF samples. RESULTS: Peak median BLF gentamicin concentration detected at 0.5 hours was 2.50 microg/mL. Median serum gentamicin concentration was < 0.50 microg/mL at all time points. Significant differences were not observed in total nucleated cell counts or differential cell counts in BLF between groups at any time point. Neutrophil count in BLF for all horses was increased over baseline at 4 and 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: We did not detect evidence of gentamicin accumulation or respiratory inflammation after once-daily GAER for 7 days. This protocol appears unlikely to result in local or systemic toxicosis. Repeated daily GAER to horses appears to be a safe procedure and may have clinical use in the treatment of horses with bacterial infections of the airways.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether different methods of sterilization of antibiotic vials or the heat of polymerization altered the antimicrobial activity or mechanical properties of antibiotic/polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) composites when compared to antibiotic-free PMMA. STUDY DESIGN: In vitro study. METHODS: Steam-sterilized, gas-sterilized, and non-sterilized 1 gram vials of cefazolin and injectable gentamicin sulfate (high and low doses) were mixed with PMMA to prepare composites for antibiotic elution evaluation, compression, and elongation testing. Blocks of PMMA that contained antibiotic were assayed for antibacterial activity using an agar gel diffusion method or were placed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to assess elution of antibiotic. Phosphate buffered saline samples from steam-sterilized cefazolin and high-dose gentamicin groups were assayed on days 1, 2, 5, and 9 for cefazolin or gentamicin concentration by high-pressure liquid chromatography or fluorescent polarization immunoassay, respectively. RESULTS: PMMA blocks containing antibiotic inhibited bacterial growth of Staphylococcus aureus 25923 for an average of 9 days. Cefazolin and gentamicin concentration in PBS decreased dramatically after the first 24 hours, but remained above minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) throughout the experiment for all groups except low-dose gentamicin. Compressive strength of plugs made from plain cement and plugs made from PMMA mixed with untreated and steam-sterilized cefazolin was similar, but was significantly different from the other groups. There appeared to be an inverse relationship between compressive strength and elongation. CONCLUSION: PMMA/antibiotic composites inhibited bacterial growth for 7 to 10 days. Compressive strength was affected by different additions of antibiotic. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Bacteria introduced during a surgical procedure may be inhibited by elution of antibiotic from PMMA at the time of contamination.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To report tissue gentamicin concentrations after intraosseous (IO) perfusion in standing horses. STUDY DESIGN: In vivo study. ANIMALS OR SAMPLE POPULATION: Twelve horses. METHODS: Sedated horses had a cannulated cortical bone screw inserted into the dorsolateral aspect of the treated metacarpus and a tourniquet applied proximally. Gentamicin (2.2 mg/kg) diluted in sterile saline solution (0.1 mL/kg) was infused through the screw. Two horses were euthanatized at each time interval: 0, 2, 6, 12, 24, and 36 hours. Synovial fluid and bone samples were collected distal to the screw from both forelimbs. Gentamicin concentrations were measured using fluorescence polarization immunoassay. RESULTS: The highest synovial fluid gentamicin concentrations were 385+/-273 microg/mL (mean+/-SD) in the metacarpophalangeal joint, 225+/-205 microg/mL in the proximal interphalangeal joint, 215+/-205 microg/mL in the distal interphalangeal joint, 382+/-195 microg/mL in the digital flexor tendon sheath, and 206+/-161 microg/mL in the navicular bursa. The highest bone concentrations of gentamicin were 55+/-30 microg/g in the distal metacarpus, 34+/-27 microg/g in the proximal, 16+/-15 microg/g in the middle, and 16+/-2.2 microg/g in the distal phalanges, and 27+/-17 microg/g in the proximal and 24+/-11 microg/g in the distal sesamoid bones. CONCLUSION: Standing IO perfusion of gentamicin resulted in local antibiotic concentrations in the synovial structures and bones of the distal aspect of the limb that exceed the reported minimum inhibitory concentration of pathogens commonly implicated in equine orthopedic infections. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Standing IO perfusion of gentamicin in the distal aspect of the limb should be considered for treatment of orthopedic infections of this region in horses.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine synovial fluid gentamicin concentrations and evaluate adverse effects on the synovial membrane and articular cartilage of tarsocrural joints after implantation of a gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponge. ANIMALS: 6 healthy adult mares. PROCEDURES: A purified bovine type I collagen sponge impregnated with 130 mg of gentamicin was implanted in the plantarolateral pouch of 1 tarsocrural joint of each horse, with the contralateral joint used as a sham-operated control joint. Gentamicin concentrations in synovial fluid and serum were determined for 120 hours after implantation by use of a fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Synovial membrane and cartilage specimens were collected 120 hours after implantation and evaluated histologically. RESULTS: Median peak synovial fluid gentamicin concentration of 168.9 microg/mL (range, 115.6 to 332 microg/mL) was achieved 3 hours after implantation. Synovial fluid gentamicin concentrations were < 4 microg/mL by 48 hours. Major histologic differences were not observed in the synovial membrane between control joints and joints implanted with gentamicin-impregnated sponges. Safranin-O fast green stain was not reduced in cartilage specimens obtained from treated joints, compared with those from control joints. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Implantation of a gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponge in the tarsocrural joint of horses resulted in rapid release of gentamicin, with peak concentrations > 20 times the minimum inhibitory concentration reported for common pathogens that infect horses. A rapid decrease in synovial fluid gentamicin concentrations was detected. The purified bovine type I collagen sponges did not elicit substantial inflammation in the synovial membrane or cause mechanical trauma to the articular cartilage.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare concentrations of gentamicin in serum and bronchial lavage fluid after IV and aerosol administration of gentamicin to horses. ANIMALS: 9 healthy adult horses. PROCEDURE: Gentamicin was administered by aerosolization (20 ml of gentamicin solution [50 mg/ml]) and IV injection (6.6 mg of gentamicin/kg of body weight) to each horse, with a minimum of 2 weeks between treatments. Samples of pulmonary epithelial lining fluid were collected by small volume (30 ml) bronchial lavage 0.5, 4, 8, and 24 hours after gentamicin administration. Serum samples were obtained at the same times. All samples were analyzed for gentamicin concentration, and cytologic examinations were performed on aliquots of bronchial lavage fluid collected at 0.5, 8, and 24 hours. RESULTS: Gentamicin concentrations in bronchial lavage fluid were significantly greater 0.5, 4, and 8 hours after aerosol administration, whereas serum concentrations were significantly less at all times after aerosol administration, compared with IV administration. Neutrophil counts in bronchial lavage fluid increased from 0.5 to 24 hours, regardless of route of gentamicin administration. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Aerosol administration of gentamicin to healthy horses resulted in gentamicin concentrations in bronchial fluid that were significantly greater than those obtained after IV administration. A mild inflammatory cell response was associated with aerosol delivery of gentamicin and repeated bronchial lavage. Aerosol administration of gentamicin may have clinical use in the treatment of bacterial bronchopneumonia in horses.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To develop a method for continuous infusion of gentamicin into the tarsocrural joint of horses, to determine pharmacokinetics of gentamicin in synovial fluid of the tarsocrural joint during continuous infusion, and to evaluate effects of continuous infusion of gentamicin on characteristics of the synovial fluid. ANIMALS: 12 healthy adult horses. PROCEDURE: An infusion catheter consisting of flow control tubing connected to a balloon infuser was used. Gentamicin solution (100 mg/ml) was infused in the right tarsocrural joint and balanced electrolyte solution was infused in the left tarsocrural joint for 5 days. Synovial fluid and serum gentamicin concentrations were measured by use of a fluorescence polarization immunoassay. RESULTS: 17 of the 24 (71%) infusion catheters initially placed functioned without complications for the entire 5-day infusion period. Median gentamicin concentration in synovial fluid from treated joints during the 5-day infusion period ranged from 2875 to 982 microg/ml. Median serum gentamicin concentration during this period ranged from 2.31 to 2.59 microg/ml. Mean (+/- SD) elimination half-life and total clearance of gentamicin from the synovial fluid were 6.25+/-1.01 hours and 1.52+/-0.96 ml/min, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: An infusion catheter can be used for continuous infusion of gentamicin into the tarsocrural joints of horses for up to 5 days. At a gentamicin dosage of 0.17+/-0.02 mg/kg/h, continuous intra-articular infusion results in synovial fluid gentamicin concentrations greater than 100 times the minimal inhibitory concentration reported for common equine pathogens.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To determine systemic and local platinum concentrations released from subcutaneously implanted cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (cisplatin) -impregnated polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and to evaluate systemic or local adverse reactions. ANIMALS: 6 healthy dogs. PROCEDURE: Cisplatin (20 mg) was inserted into PMMA that was fashioned into cylinders and placed into subcutaneous tissue chambers overlying the thorax (treated site). An empty tissue chamber was placed over the opposite side (control site). Plasma samples were obtained for platinum determination before implantation, at 3, 6, and 12 hours after implantation on day 0, and once daily on days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 29. At similar times on similar days, tissue chamber fluid samples also were obtained for platinum determination. Complete blood count, serum urea nitrogen and creatinine concentration determinations, and urinalyses were performed on days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 29. Complete necropsy was performed at conclusion of the study. RESULTS: Tissue chamber platinum concentrations at the treated site were significantly greater than plasma and control site tissue chamber concentrations on days 2, 3, 7, 10. Mean plasma platinum concentration at 3 (0.735 microg/ml), 6 (0.691 microg/ml), 12 (0.534 microg/ml), 24 (0.131 microg/ml), 48 (0.2 microg/ml), 72 (0.1 microg/ml), and 158 (0.014 microg/ml) hours was significantly greater than pretreatment values (0.0 microg/ml). Plasma platinum concentration 10 days after treatment (0.011 microg/ml) did not significantly differ from pretreatment values. Local or systemic adverse reactions were not apparent. CONCLUSIONS: The route of cisplatin administration was safe. Greater concentration of platinum was released locally relative to plasma concentration for an extended period.  相似文献

1. Gentamicin was injected subcutaneously and intramuscularly into 5 groups of 10 laying hens and its concentration was determined in albumen, yolk and whole egg. 2. Groups 1 and 3 were intramuscularly injected with doses of 10 and 25 mg/kg while groups 2, 4 and 5 were subcutaneously injected with doses of 10, 25 and 50 mg/kg, respectively. 3. The final gentamicin concentration in albumen was measured on d 3 for groups 1 and 2; on d 4 for groups 3 and 4, and on d 5 for group 5. Concentrations in yolk and whole egg were measured on d 7, 10 and 12. 4. Gentamicin recovery was as follows: 2% in groups 1 and 2, 2.5% in groups 3 and 4, and 3% in group 5. 5. Most of the residue (approximately 90%) was recovered from the yolk.  相似文献

Objective— To compare intra-articular (IA) and bone gentamicin concentrations achieved after intra-articular administration or regional intravenous perfusion (RIP).
Study Design— Experimental study.
Animals— Twelve healthy adult horses.
Methods— Horses were assigned to 2 treatment groups (  n = 6/group  ): Group 1, 1 g gentamicin administered simultaneously in both left and right metacarpophalangeal joints and group 2, 1 g gentamicin administered simultaneously in both left and right lateral palmar veins. Serum, synovial fluid, and bone biopsy specimens were collected. Gentamicin concentrations were determined by fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Bone, synovial fluid, and serum gentamicin concentrations were compared over time and between groups using 2-way ANOVA. Significance of all tests were evaluated at   P < .05  .
Results— IA metacarpophalangeal joint administration resulted in higher concentration of gentamicin in synovial fluid than RIP administration. Synovial fluid concentration remained above minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for common pathogens for over 24 hours with IA and RIP administration. Bone gentamicin concentration remained above MIC for 8 hours with both methods; there was no significant difference in gentamicin concentration in bone with either method. Neither IA nor RIP administration had a significant effect on serum concentration of gentamicin.
Conclusions— In normal horses, there is no difference in bone gentamicin concentration obtained with IA or RIP administration.
Clinical Relevance— Based on MIC for common equine pathogens, administration of gentamicin intra-articularly or by regional intravenous perfusion should be useful for treatment of osteomyelitis.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate pharmacokinetics of once daily i.v. administration of gentamicin sulfate to adult horses that had abdominal surgery. DESIGN: Prospective study. ANIMALS: 28 adult horses that underwent abdominal surgery for colic. PROCEDURE: 14 horses were treated with each dosage of gentamicin (i.e., 6.6 or 4 mg/kg, i.v., q 24 h) and blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. Plasma gentamicin concentrations were measured by use of a fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Pharmacokinetic analysis measured the elimination half-life, volume of distribution, and gentamicin total systemic clearance. Treatment outcome, CBC, and serum creatinine concentrations were recorded. RESULTS: 1 horse in the high-dosage group died. All other horses successfully recovered, and did not develop bacterial infection or have evidence of drug toxicosis resulting in renal injury. Mean pharmacokinetic variables for gentamicin administration at a high or low dosage (i.e., 6.6 or 4 mg/kg, i.v., q 24 h) were half-life of 1.47 and 1.61 hours, volume of distribution of 0.17 and 0.17 L/kg, and systemic clearance of 1.27 and 1.2 ml/kg/min, respectively. Mean serum creatinine concentration was 1.74 and 1.71 for the high and low dosages, respectively, and serum creatinine concentration was not correlated with gentamicin clearance. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Gentamicin administration at a dosage of 4 mg/kg, i.v., every 24 hours, will result in plasma concentrations that are adequate against susceptible bacteria with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of < or = 2.0 micrograms/ml. Gentamicin administration at a calculated dosage of 6.8 mg/kg, i.v., every 24 hours will result in optimum plasma concentrations against susceptible bacteria with a MIC of < or = 4.0 micrograms/ml.  相似文献

The effect of incorporation of gentamicin in liposomes on intracellular killing of Staphylococcus aureus was studied in vitro in cultured bovine mammary macrophages, and in experimental bovine mastitis. Liposomes were prepared by reverse-phase evaporation and ranged in size from 0.1 to 1.0 micron in diameter (mean 0.51 micron), with an encapsulation efficiency of gentamicin of 27.4%. Liposomes were taken up by in vitro cultured macrophages but intracellular killing of S. aureus over 12 h was not significantly enhanced when treatment with liposomally-entrapped gentamicin was compared to free gentamicin. Treatment of experimentally-induced S. aureus mastitis in five lactating Holstein cows (20 quarters) failed to show significant differences in bacterial counts when treatment with liposomally-entrapped gentamicin was compared to treatment with free gentamicin or blank liposomes plus free gentamicin. Gentamicin concentrations exceeded the in vitro determined minimum inhibitory concentration for 48 h when quarters were treated with 50 mg gentamicin on two occasions 24 h apart.  相似文献

Gentamicin was administered to six cats at a dosage of 3 mg/kg of body weight intravenously every 8 h for five days. Peak and trough serum gentamicin concentrations were measured after each injection. Gentamicin elimination rate and serum half-life were calculated. Serum urea nitrogen, creatinine, biochemistry profile, electrolyte, glucose, total protein, and albumin concentrations were measured daily. Urinalyses were performed before and after the five-day experimental period. The mean +/- SD peak serum gentamicin concentration was 7.19 +/- 1.10 micrograms/mL, and the trough concentration was 0.59 +/- 0.09 microgram/mL. These concentrations are known to be effective against most gentamicin-sensitive bacteria. The mean +/- SD gentamicin elimination rate was 0.0065 +/- 0.0004 min-1. The harmonic mean +/- pseudo standard deviation serum half-life of gentamicin was 107.21 +/- 12.79 min. There were no significant increases (P greater than 0.05) in clinicopathological variables. Microscopic examination of renal sections did not disclose pathological lesions. Signs of vestibular impairment were not observed. A dosage of 3 mg gentamicin/kg given intravenously every 8 h for five days was determined to be safe and to produce therapeutic blood levels in cats.  相似文献

Gentamicin was given to six sheep at a dosage rate of 80 mg/kg/day divided into three daily doses to cause nephrotoxicity. Peak serum gentamicin concentrations rose significantly throughout dosing (P less than 0.05), but trough serum gentamicin concentrations increased dramatically (P less than 0.01) from initial concentrations of 3.2-9.1 micrograms/ml to final trough concentrations of 31.5-195 micrograms/ml by 6-10 days on gentamicin. The serum gentamicin elimination half-life (t1/2) was doubled in each animal by approximately 6 days on therapy, with the sheep that were the most clinically affected by the nephrotoxic effects of gentamicin showing increases in t1/2 earlier than those sheep that remained less intoxicated. These changes occurred before many other clinical indicators of nephrotoxicity, with only urinary enzyme excretions preceding the changes in gentamicin elimination. Thus, alterations in the elimination of gentamicin may be one of the first clinical indicators of the occurrence of gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity.  相似文献

Ten healthy adult mares were given a single intramuscular dose (2.2 mg/kg) of gentamicin sulfate. Over a 48-h period, gentamicin concentrations were measured serially in the serum of all ten mares and in synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid, and urine of six of the mares. The mean peak serum gentamicin concentration was 5.73 μg/ml at 1 h. Gentamicin was detected in synovial fluid and peritoneal fluid, with mean peak gentamicin concentrations of 2.41 μg/ml and 3.92 μg/ml, respectively, observed at 2 h. These concentrations declined in parallel with serum concentrations and were not measurable at 48 h. Urine gentamicin concentration was relatively high, with a mean peak concentration of 424.9 μg/ml at 1 h after drug administration.  相似文献

The effect of three treatments on Salmonella hadar infection in turkey poults was examined. The three treatments were: (A) a single injection of gentamicin, (B) peroral treatment with anaerobic culture derived from cecal contents of an adult turkey (Nurmi culture), and (C) combination of treatments A and B. Nurmi culture was significantly more effective than gentamicin treatment. Nurmi culture along with gentamicin reduced the number of shedding birds, but a higher proportion of birds became carriers compared with the groups given Nurmi culture only. Gentamicin injection alone did not prevent the spreading of infection in larger groups raised on litter, but it did so in one experimental group raised on wire floor.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the in vitro elution characteristics of amikacin and cefazolin from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) alone and in combination. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective, controlled, experimental study. METHODS: Three aliquots of 6 g sterile PMMA were measured and to them added (1) 750 mg amikacin; (2) 1050 mg cefazolin; and (3) 750 mg amikacin and 1050 mg cefazolin. Ten beads of each antimicrobial/PMMA combination were placed in 5 mL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4 and room temperature with constant agitation. PBS was sampled at 15 time points between 1 hour and 30 days. Amikacin concentrations were determined by fluorescence polarization immunoassay and cefazolin concentrations by high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: Amikacin and cefazolin eluted at concentrations greater than 8 and 4 times, respectively, above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for susceptible bacteria over 30 days. Co-elution of the antibiotics resulted in a greater rate and proportion of antibiotic eluted. Concentrations of amikacin and cefazolin in the co-eluted fluid were not maintained sufficiently above the MIC for selected bacteria over 30 days. CONCLUSIONS: PMMA beads of only amikacin or cefazolin-eluted concentrations greater than the MIC for selected bacteria for 30 days. Co-elution of the antibiotics at the selected doses resulted in a significantly shorter duration of elution and may not be effective for treatment of wound infection. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Co-elution of amikacin and cefazolin from PMMA at the selected doses cannot be recommended for sustained treatment of infection.  相似文献
