title: Overview of physical-chemical methods for determining aminoglycoside antibiotics in tissues and fluids of food-producing animals.
abstract: A survey of literature is presented dealing with physical-chemical methods for the detection and quantitation of aminoglycoside antibiotics (gentamicin, streptomycin, dihydrostreptomycin, and neomycin) that are used in food-producing animals. Recent developments in cleanup and determinative procedures, particularly liquid chromatography, for these compounds in fluids and tissues are emphasized. Little research has been done on residues in tissues compared with other biological matrices. This review also covers the chemistry, general characteristics, tolerances, and withdrawal times for the approved uses of these antibiotics in animals that are used for food.
