Antibiotic Penetrance of Ascitic Fluid in Dogs [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1976 Antibiotic concentrations in ascitic fluid after parenteral therapy may be important in the treatment of peritonitis. We have created ascites in dogs by partial ligation of the inferior vena cava. Ascitic fluid volume was measured at the time each antibiotic was administered. Nine antibiotics were studied in the same three dogs.
