Abstract;Penetration of five parenteral antibiotics (piperacillin (PIPC: 50 mg/kg, i.v.), cefazolin (CEZ: 30 mg/kg, i.v.), cefmetazole (CMZ: 16-22 mg/kg, d.i.v.), cefoperazone (CPZ: 20 mg/kg, d.i.v.), and latamoxef (LMOX: 15-24 mg/kg, d.i.v.)) into human mandibular bone after a single administration was determined. PIPC, CEZ, and CMZ levels in mandibular bone were higher than the respective MIC90 values of these drugs against Streptococcus sp., which is frequently isolated from patients with oral infections. These antibiotics should therefore be useful in treatment of mandibular osteomyelitis and prevention of postoperative infections. CPZ and LMOX levels did not reach the comparable MIC90 values against Streptococcus sp. in many patients, however, so the dosages for these antibiotics must be carefully considered. (author abst.)
