Abstract
The present study evaluates the effectiveness of BACTEC NR-26A resin-containing medium in removing eight antibiotics from blood cultures. Peak concentrations achievable clinically were chosen. All antibiotics were prepared in fresh human blood samples. Blood samples were obtained prior to and at 15 min and 2, 24, 48, and 72 h after inoculation. Aztreonam, ceftriaxone, imipenem, teicoplanin, and ticarcillin were partially removed from blood cultures.
