[Method of membrane filtration for determining the sterility and microbial contamination of antibiotics].
During membrane filtration antibiotics belonging to different chemical groups are strictly absorbed on the filters. When the filters are put into liquid thioglycol medium, the residual amounts of the antibiotics on the filters did not prevent the growth of sensitive microflora experimentally added to the drug. When the filter was put onto solid nutrient medium, only resistant forms of the microbes grew as a rule on its surface, the amount of the grown microbes being 26--43 per cent of the added one. The sensitive microbes grew only in the amount of 0.3--1.3 per cent. Subsequently the residues of the antibiotic adsorbed on the filter inhibited the growth of the sensitive and partially resistant microflora.
