PMCID: PMC180509  PMID: 3729362

Abstract

Abdominal tissue, serum, and bile samples were obtained from 37 patients given a single, 2-g intravenous infusion of aztreonam immediately prior to an elective abdominal operation. Samples were obtained at 0 to 6 h after dosing. Mean concentrations in tissues and fluids and specimen/serum rations are reported. Levels in tissue and bile exceeded the reported MICs for 90% of most members of the family Enterobacteriaceae for up to 6 h.
