Abstract

Cellulose phosphate powder can be added to serum to selectively bind aminoglycosides by ionic interaction without binding or inactivation of the penicillins, the cephalosporins, clindamycin, vancomycin, chloramphenicol, or trimethoprim. This simple, rapid technique permits the measurement of non-aminoglycoside antibiotics in the presence of aminoglycosides.
