Comparative penetration of azlocillin and mezlocillin into cerebrospinal fluid of normal rabbits and rabbits with experimentally induced Pseudomonas aeruginosa meningitis.
The impacts of meningeal infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and route of drug administration on the penetration of azlocillin and mezlocillin into the cerebrospinal fluid of rabbits were evaluated. The penetration of both agents was increased to a similar degree in rabbits with meningitis compared with normal rabbits. The increase in penetration was greater after intravenous administration than after intramuscular administration.
