Serum and peritoneal fluid concentrations of clindamycin and lincomycin in the mouse.
Serum concentrations of drug were obtained at various times after intramuscular dosing of healthy mice with either clindamycin or lincomycin hydrochlorides. Washings from the peritoneal cavity were taken at the same time as the serum samples. Changes in drug concentration in the peritoneal fluid with time mimic those for the serum, but concentrations in peritoneal fluid are much greater than the corresponding serum concentrations. The total volume of peritoneal fluid was estimated to be 0.05 ml.
