    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate monitoring of aminoglycoside antibiotic levels, such as netilmicin, is crucial for therapeutic efficacy and minimizing toxicity.
    • Existing methods for netilmicin determination may be time-consuming or require specialized equipment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a newly developed homogeneous enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for quantifying netilmicin in human serum.
    • To compare the performance of the novel EIA with a established radioenzymatic assay (REA).

    Main Methods:

    • A homogeneous enzyme immunoassay was developed for netilmicin determination.
    • 102 serum samples from patients undergoing netilmicin treatment were analyzed using both the new EIA and the REA.

    Main Results:

    • The enzyme immunoassay demonstrated excellent correlation with the radioenzymatic assay (r = 0.993).
    • The EIA exhibited high precision, accuracy, and specificity in netilmicin measurements.
    • The method proved to be rapid and easy to perform.

    Conclusions:

    • The newly developed homogeneous enzyme immunoassay is a reliable and effective method for determining serum netilmicin concentrations.
    • This EIA offers a practical and advantageous alternative to current assays for routine therapeutic drug monitoring of netilmicin.
