[Determination of residual antibiotic activity in cerebro-spinal fluid (author's transl)].
A microbiological method for the determination of residual antibiotic activity in CSF is described. This disc-diffusion method, utilizing Bacillus stearotermophilus as test organism, is highly sensitive for many antibiotics, including those crossing the blood-brain barrier.
