| pubmed-article:580206 | pubmed:abstractText | For determination of tissue levels of different antibiotics in human tonsils penicillin G, ampicillin or lincomycin is given i.v. to patients before tonsillectomy. The concentration of the individual substances is determined in tonsils and serum by agar diffusion method. The results are compared by diagrams of tissue and serum levels and statistically assessed. For therapeutic evaluation the absolute tissue levels at tonsillectomy are compared to the values of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for most frequent germs in the stomato-maxillo-facial region. According to these results recommendations for antibiotic therapy of inflammatory processes of buccal cavity are given. | lld:pubmed |
