Oral dose and faecal concentration of antibiotics during antibiotic decontamination in mice and in a patient

Abstract: In both mice and one patient, a similar correlation was found between the oral dose of a ;nonabsorbable' aminoglycoside antibiotic selected for antibiotic decontamination of the digestive tract and the resultant faecal concentration. In mice, absorption of the orally-given antibiotics could only be demonstrated in animals treated with extremely high doses of 1440 mg. per kg. body weight per day. Evidence of absorption of gentamycin was found to occur in a patient after doses as low as 70 mg. per kg. per day.

“…Mice were allowed to acclimate to the animal facility for 1‐week prior to the start of the experiment. To deplete the commensal microbiota, at 12 weeks of age mice were treated with broad‐spectrum antibiotics: ampicillin 1.0 g/L (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) and neomycin 0.5 g/L (Sigma), which are poorly absorbed by the intestine . Fresh antibiotics were given weekly via sterile drinking water; the effectiveness of the antibiotic‐water was confirmed by its prevention of bacterial growth on agar plates.…”

“…Similar treatment protocols have been followed previously in comparable studies in mice and rats, demonstrating the induction of significant changes of the GCM. 18,19,57 Experimental protocols Mice were treated with the antibiotic mixture (n D 28) or vehicle (n D 28) during 14 consecutive days. Different subgroups of vehicle-and antibiotics-treated animals were used to assess visceral pain responses (behavioral pain responses to IP acetic acid, n D 22 and IC capsaicin, n D 22) and in vitro colonic contractility (n D 12).…”

“…Experiments were performed in accordance with the Netherlands Experiments on Animals Act (1977) In a separate experiment on melphalan and IMS, the recipient mice were maintained on the non-absorbable antibiotic neomycin sulphate (3.5 g 1-; E-Z-EM Rooster, Dordrecht, The Netherlands), administered in drinking water 7 days before and 14 days after treatment. It is estimated that this dose and course of antibiotic treatment completely suppressed the intestinal microflora at the time of treatment (Van der Waaij & Berghuis-de Vries, 1974;Goris et al, 1986a) and is capable of protecting mice from radiationinduced gut lethality (Pearson & Phelps, 1981).…”
