چکیده
In a study of 58 patients the concentrations of cefixime, a new oral cephem antibiotic, in bronchial mucosa were 35-40% of the concentrations found in simultaneously collected serum samples. The antibiotic was often undetectable in sputum despite a highly sensitive assay.

Azithromycin concentrations at the sites of pulmonary infection.
Azithromycin is a new macrolide antimicrobial. The distribution to the potential sites of pulmonary infection was assessed after the administration of a single 500 mg oral dose to 22 patients undergoing fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Concentrations of azithromycin in sputum, bronchial mucosa, eptihelial lining fluid (ELF) and alveolar macrophages (AM) were determined at intervals up to 96 h after dos...
متن کاملInfluence of an antacid containing aluminum and magnesium on the pharmacokinetics of cefixime.
Interaction studies in dogs have indicated that antacids significantly decrease the oral bioavailability of cefixime. Twelve healthy adult male volunteers participated in a randomized, four-way crossover trial to evaluate the influence of an aluminum-magnesium antacid (Maalox; 20 ml) on the pharmacokinetics of cefixime (400 mg). Regimens were (i) cefixime alone; (ii) cefixime simultaneous with ...
متن کاملPenetration of amoxycillin/clavulanic acid into bronchial mucosa with different dosing regimens.
BACKGROUND The efficacy of an antibiotic is related to its concentration at the site of infection. Previous studies of the concentrations of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid (co-amoxiclav) in respiratory secretions or whole lung tissue have suffered from methodological problems. The concentration of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid was determined in bronchial mucosal biopsy samples obtained at br...
متن کاملConcentrations of trovafloxacin in bronchial mucosa, epithelial lining fluid, alveolar macrophages and serum after administration of single or multiple oral doses to patients undergoing fibre-optic bronchoscopy.
Concentrations of trovafloxacin were measured in serum, alveolar macrophages, epithelial lining fluid and bronchial mucosa following single and multiple oral doses. Concentrations were determined using a microbiological assay method. There were 18 subjects in the single dose and nine subjects in the multiple dose groups. After single dosing, mean concentrations in serum, alveolar macrophages, e...
متن کاملPenetration of enoxacin into bronchial secretions.
Enoxacin is a potent quinolone derivative with marked activity against gram-negative bacteria and staphylococci. The oral preparation has a potential role in treatment of gram-negative-bacterial lower respiratory infections if found to give adequate bronchial (sputum) concentrations. A study was done to determine the concomitant serum and bronchial concentrations of oral enoxacin after dosing w...
