Preferential distribution of streptomycin in pig kidney cortex.
In 14 pig kidneys containing streptomycin, an average distribution ratio of 2.5:1 was found for the streptomycin between the cortex and medulla. It is suggested here that cortex alone be used, instead of mixed kidney tissue, in regulatory meat monitoring schemes.
