title: [Adaptation of the Autobac system to the determination of serum concentrations of antibiotics].
abstract: Adaptation of the Autobac system to the determination of antibiotic concentrations in the serum. In face of increasing interest in antibiotic assays, particularly for those effective within a narrow range, we have combined the Autobac system with a rapid microbiological assay in liquid medium which involves the use of a laser nephelometer. This method is rapid, simple, accurate and inexpensive. It allows laboratories with the Autobac system to monitor closely antibiotic treatments.
