    Antibiotic activity in peritoneal dialysis fluid was assessed. Most antibiotics retained potency over four hours, but dialysate reduced the effectiveness of many agents, except amikacin and vancomycin.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Pharmacology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Antibiotic efficacy in peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluid is not well-studied.
    • Understanding antibiotic stability in PD solutions is crucial for effective infection treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the activity of various antibiotics when added to 30% glucose concentrate for PD.
    • To determine if antibiotic activity is preserved in delivered dialysate over time.

    Main Methods:

    • Antibiotics were added to 30% glucose concentrate and administered via a Drake-Willock proportioning system.
    • Dialysate samples were collected at 10 minutes and 4 hours post-initiation.
    • Minimal inhibitory dilution (MID) was determined against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

    Main Results:

    • Similar MIDs were observed for all tested antibiotics at both 10-minute and 4-hour time points.
    • Dialysate significantly reduced the activity of most antibiotics compared to saline.
    • Amikacin and vancomycin showed preserved activity in the dialysate.

    Conclusions:

    • Most antibiotics maintain their potency in PD fluid for at least four hours.
    • Peritoneal dialysate impairs the activity of several common antibiotics.
    • Amikacin and vancomycin are exceptions, retaining significant activity in PD fluid.
