Cefotaxime: in vitro activity and tentative interpretive standards for disk susceptibility testing.

abstract：:We describe a rapid, precise, and simple procedure for the quantitation of azlocillin in serum and in aqueous solutions by high-pressure, reverse-phase liquid chromatography. This method uses a single precipitation step, detection by dual-wavelength monitoring (220 and 254 nm), and quantitation by comparison with an i...
