    A new disk bioassay offers a rapid, reliable, and simple method for determining clindamycin serum levels. This technique provides accurate results within 6.0 to 6.5 hours for clinical use.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate determination of clindamycin serum levels is crucial for effective therapeutic drug monitoring.
    • Existing methods for quantifying clindamycin may be time-consuming or complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel disk bioassay for the quantification of clindamycin in human serum.
    • To establish the reliability and speed of this new assay.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and validation of a disk diffusion bioassay.
    • Incubation of inoculated agar plates with serum samples containing clindamycin.
    • Measurement of zones of inhibition to determine drug concentration.

    Main Results:

    • The disk bioassay provides results within a rapid timeframe of 6.0 to 6.5 hours.
