Penetration of ceftriaxone and cefoperazone into bile and gallbladder tissue in patients with acute cholecystitis

Abstract: The penetration of ceftriaxone and cefoperazone into bile and gallbladder tissue was prospectively studied in 21 adult patients undergoing early surgery for acute cholecystitis. Comparable tissue, bile, and serum concentrations of the drugs were demonstrable; however, significantly fewer preoperative doses of ceftriaxone were required for adequate perioperative treatment. In view of its higher serum half-life and superior antibacterial activity toward common biliary pathogens, ceftriaxone appears to be a usefu… Show more

“…(1,(3)(4)(5)(6). Antibiotics, such as fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin [CIP]), carbapenems (e.g., meropenem [MEM]), and tigecycline (TGC), have been considered for treatment and are highly effective against E. coli (3,(7)(8)(9). Furthermore, TGC as well as linezolid (LZD), a protein synthesis inhibitor, is effective against other Gram-positive bacteria, namely, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium (9,10).…”

“…Furthermore, TGC as well as linezolid (LZD), a protein synthesis inhibitor, is effective against other Gram-positive bacteria, namely, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium (9,10). Even though the actual benefit of antimicrobials for the treatment of biliary tract infections has been heavily debated, the employed antibiotic substances have found widespread use due to their spectrum of activity and their ability to penetrate the gallbladder wall, thereby reaching the bile (3,7,8,11).…”
