چکیده
The pharmacokinetics of apalcillin and piperacillin, each administered intravenously as a single 2-g dose, were compared in 10 volunteers in a randomized study of crossover design using bioassay and high-pressure liquid chromatographic procedures. The concentrations of both penicillins in serum were determined over a period of 12 h and in urine over 24 h. Concentrations of apalcillin and piperacillin at the end of the 15-min infusion were similar; however, at 8 h, concentrations of piperacillin were below measurable levels, whereas concentrations of apalcillin were still measurable at 10 h. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated according to a two-compartment open model. The area under the curve and the half-life for apalcillin were larger than for piperacillin. On the other hand, renal clearance of piperacillin was substantially greater than that of apalcillin. Of the apalcillin excreted via the kidneys, approximately one-fifth was eliminated as two microbiologically inactive penicilloic acid derivatives. The nonrenal clearance of apalcillin was 79% of total clearance. Binding of apalcillin to serum protein was almost twice that of piperacillin.

BACKGROUNDS: Different susceptibility rates of pathogenic bacteria to antimicrobial agents are considered major factors in the choice of drugs and the success of treatments. Concerns have been raised regarding the emergence of antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic bacteria that may result in unpredictable antimicrobial susceptibilities and therapy failure. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this in...
متن کاملThe association of biofilm formation and sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations of antimicrobial agents
Introduction: Although bacteria producing biofilm are more resistance to antimicrobial agents, biofilm formation can stimulated by sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of some antimicrobial agents. Therefore, we designed present study to investigate the in vitro efficacy of several antibiotics (including ceftazidime, piperacillin, ticarcillin, carbenicillin, aztreonam, merop...
