[Adaptation of the Autobac system to the determination of serum concentrations of antibiotics]. / Adaptation du système Autobac à la détermination des concentrations sériques d'antibiotiques.

Adaptation of the Autobac system to the determination of antibiotic concentrations in the serum. In face of increasing interest in antibiotic assays, particularly for those effective within a narrow range, we have combined the Autobac system with a rapid microbiological assay in liquid medium which involves the use of a laser nephelometer. This method is rapid, simple, accurate and inexpensive. It allows laboratories with the Autobac system to monitor closely antibiotic treatments.
