A fully validated microbiological assay for daptomycin injection and comparison to HPLC method

Abstract: Daptomycin (DPT) was the first lipopeptide antibiotic available for commercialization. It is active against gram-positive bacteria, including resistant strains. This work aimed to develop and validate a turbidimetric microbiologic assay to determine daptomycin in an injectable form. A 3x3 design was employed, at concentrations of 1, 2 and 4.0 µg/mL. The microorganism test used was Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538p, and Antibiotic Medium 3 was used as the culture medium. Method validation demonstrated that the b… Show more

“…The residual CEZ was measured using the HPLC method and microbiological assay in this study, which are both standard methods for measuring the residual level of antibiotics [ 15 , 16 ]. Although these methods each have advantages, there is no significant difference between them [ 2 ]. As such, the test results were not considered to differ between methods.…”

“…The principle of this method is the drug diffusion on an agar surface inoculated with a microorganism, producing a inhibition zone of growth that is measured (20)(21)(22) and allows to determine the drug potency and to detect small variances in biological activity. Agar diffusion methods have been the methodology chosen for water-soluble antibiotics (23). For the present study, the culture medium was selected based on similar methodologies described for others similar carbapenems: meropenem and doripenem (13,18).…”

“…The factors considered were incubation time, temperature and pH (antibiotic medium no. 1) [17,26]. Minor and limited deviations or drifts from the standard official assay conditions should not adversely impact the resultant computed potency and it should not show significant shift from expected estimate from that calculated under ideal experimental and laboratory conditions [27].…”
