RESUMO

Although there are severaI reports regarding the bacterial resistance to amoxicillin, it is used as a first choice therapy in medicine and dentistry. The recent edition of the guidelines for the prevention of bacterial endocarditis is a clear example of this. In spite of it is widely accept that every antibiotic should achieve higher serum levei than the minimum inhibitory concentration for a given bacteria, the blood is not the place where the majority of the infections occur. There are few data about the tissue concentration that the amoxicillin reaches; a greater importance is given to the serum levels of this drug. This aim of this paper was to study the tissue concentration of the amoxicillin. Sixty male rats were implanted the back with 4 PVC sponges. After 14 days of the implantation, the animais received orally 40mg/kg of amoxicillin suspension and were sacrificed in groups of 6 at 15 min, 30 min, 1, 1112, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours after the administration. Blood samples and granulomatous tissues were collected. After the centrifugation of blood samples, 10 µL of sera were distributed in paper disks and, as well the granulomatous tissue were disposed in Petri dishes with Mueller Hinton agar inoculated with 108 c.f.u. of 5taphy/ococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). After 18 hours of incubation the inhibition zones were measured and scored for analysis. A regression curve with the inhibition zones versus the logarithm concentrations of amoxicillin was previously done. It was observed that the drug achieved in blood and tissue concentrations above the minimum inhibitory and bactericide concentrations ones within the period of 30min and 8 hours after the administration. It was concluded that with the dose studied the intervals of 6/6 hours or 8/8 hours would be adequate to keep sufficient levels of the antibiotic.
