“…Admittedly the most accurate means of determining penicillin concentrations (Foster and Woodruff, 1943), this method has steadily gained in popularity (Joslyn, 1944;Lee et al, 1944). Attempts to adapt turbidimetry to clinical use, however, met with two serious difficulties: (1) Turbidities and colors of body fluids made comparison with standards difficult, and (2) even with highly enriched nutrient broth there was a marked nonspecific stimulation of growth of the organisms, especially with blood plasma and chest fluid (table 3).…”

“…(See Foster and Woodruff, 1943;Cooke, 1945;Beadle et al, 1945;Woolley and Schmidt, 1945;Asheshov and Strelitz, 1945. ) Joslyn (1944) has described a turbidimetric assay procedure that has been used by some groups. It is the general consensus that both the cylinder plate method and the turbidimetric method are of doubtful reliability and sensitivity for the assay of penicillin in blood.…”

“…Em 1944, foi proposto ensaio turbidimétrico para dosagem de penicilina com 4 horas de incubação, seguidas de leitura da densidade óptica. Este método empregava séries de 9 tubos com concentrações aumentadas em progressão aritmética, de padrão e amostra (JOSLYN, 1944). Outros métodos turbidimétricos propostos na mesma época apresentaram possibilidade de leitura em cerca de 3 a 4 horas, utilizando Streptococcus (RAKE & JONES, 1944), e em 90 minutos, empregando cepa de Streptococcus do grupo B de Lancefield, com exatidão adequada para determinação da penicilina (LEE et al, 1944).…”

“…Os procedimentos técnicos foram também melhorados pelo emprego de dispositivos auxiliares, tornando os métodos estabelecidos mais rápidos. Com esta finalidade, foram introduzidos o uso de tubos padronizados em que a turvação poderia ser lida diretamente no aparelho (JOSLYN, 1944) e de pipetas especiais para rápida e exata medida das soluções-teste (MCMAHAN, 1944). Foi ainda incluída modificação na técnica para interromper o crescimento dos microrganismos através da colocação de todos os tubos, ao mesmo tempo, em banho de água quente (MCMAHAN, 1944).…”
