title: [Tissue diffusion of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid for antibiotic prophylaxis in colorectal surgery].
abstract: Tissue penetration of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid given for antibiotic prophylaxis was studied in 15 patients. On induction of anesthesia patients were given 2 g amoxicillin and 200 mg clavulanic acid. The same dose was given two hours later. At time of surgical incision amoxicillin and clavulanate levels were 15.9 +/- 7.7 micrograms/g and 2.23 +/- 2.69 micrograms/g in abdominal wall fat and 16.6 +/- 10.5 and 1.72 +/- 1.35 micrograms/g in epiploic fat, respectively. Similar levels were measured at time of closure of the abdomen. In colonic wall, amoxicillin et clavulanate levels were 22.7 +/- 13.4 micrograms/g and 2.65 +/- 2.35 micrograms/g. By comparison with blood levels, tissue penetration of both drugs was 20 to 30 p. cent into fatty tissues and 60 to 70 p. cent into colonic wall.
