Abstract
Twenty-nine patients received either 4 g intravenous infusion or 100 mg subconjunctival application of azlocillin 1–12 h before cataract extraction. After intravenous application the mean aqueous humor concentration of azlocillin was 4.4 μg/ml after 3 h. The subconjunctival dose produced a mean aqueous humor concentration of 78 μg/ml and 3.4 μg/ml after 3 and 12 h, respectively. These levels are above the minimum inhibitory concentration of azlocillin for sensitive organisms.
