Pancreatic infection represents the most important cause of fatal outcome in human acute pancreatitis. In a comparative analysis, human pancreatic tissue concentrations of 10 different bactericidal antibiotics were determined in 89 patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. Concentrations of the antibiotics were determined in the blood and pancreatic tissue using high-pressure liquid chromatography. Pancreatic tissue concentrations 120 minutes after intravenous administration were as follows: mezlocillin, 19.0 mg/kg; piperacillin, 20.3 mg/kg; cefotaxime, 9.1 mg/kg; ceftizoxime, 7.9 mg/kg; netilmicin, 0.4 mg/kg; tobramycin, 0.4 mg/kg; ofloxacin, 1.7 mg/kg; ciprofloxacin, 0.9 mg/kg; imipenem, 6.0 mg/kg; metronidazole, 3.5 mg/kg. Three groups of antibiotics were established: group A, substances with low tissue concentrations (netilmicin, tobramycin), which were below the minimal inhibitory concentrations of most bacteria found in pancreatic infection; group B, antibiotics with pancreatic tissue concentrations which were sufficient to inhibit some but not all bacteria in pancreatic infection (mezlocillin, piperacillin, ceftizoxime, cefotaxime); group C, substances with high pancreatic tissue levels as well as high bactericidal activity against most of the germs present in pancreatic infection (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, imipenem). These data could serve as the basis for adequate antibiotic prophylaxis or treatment of pancreatic infection.
