- Abstract
The concentration of ceftazidime in human prostatic tissue obtained by transurethral resection was measured by microbiological assay in 24 patients after the intravenous administration of one 2 g dose. The average concentration of ceftazidime in the tissue was 10.1 micrograms/g 70 min after injection and 6.1 micrograms/g 140 min after injection; these levels were each approximately 14% of the corresponding serum levels. The concentration of ceftazidime achieved in the prostatic tissue was greater than the minimum inhibitory concentrations of ceftazidime for Gram-negative pathogens.
