Antibiotics in plasma by UV- FAST (code Z91010) – 100 tests package.
INSIGHTS Technically, an “antibiotic” is defined as a substance of natural origin produced by a microorganism, capable of killing another. The term in the current common use indicates a drug, of natural origin or synthesis (chemotherapy) able to slow down or stop the proliferation of bacteria. Antibiotics are therefore divided into bacteriostatic (i.e. they block the reproduction of the bacterium, preventing its splitting) and bactericidal (i.e. they directly kill the micro-organism). Usually they have no effect against viruses, fungi and parasites, on which other kinds of chemotherapy act. Principle of the Method: Group 1 and Group 2 Antibiotics are analysed by treating the plasma with appropriate deproteinization reagents. The solution is centrifuged and, after diluting the supernatant, injected into HPLC.
