“…All studies have so far reported a lack of accumulation (ie, an apparent intracellular concentration lower than the extracellular one at equilibrium) for all b-lactams whether in phagocytic [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] or nonphagocytic cells and tissues in general [16]. It has often been concluded that b-lactams are unable to penetrate cells, which is probably incorrect because most of the representatives of this class of drug do diffuse reasonably well through biologic membranes.…”

“…For each type of tissue assay, an antibiotic calibration range was determined with the organ involved (6,45). The elimination half-life (t1/2/) was calculated according to a single-compartment model by exponential regression of the concentrations in serum from 0.25 to 2 h. Areas under the curve (AUCs) from 0 to 6 h were calculated by the trapezoidal rule method.…”

“…Those compounds are also easily transported across the blood-brain barrier [1][2][3][4]. Fourth-generation cephalosporins are used to treat infections of the urinary tract, lungs, skin and soft tissues as well as in postoperative prophylaxis [3].…”
