Experimental study investigates penicillin concentrations in oropharyngeal and sinus tissues, suggesting infusion impacts effectiveness.
Penicillin bolus and continuous infusion resulted in comparable T > MIC in oropharyngeal and frontal sinus tissues. However, bolus infusion showed a higher likelihood of attaining ≥ 50%T > MIC in oropharyngeal tissue. These findings are specific to the porcine model and dosing regimens used and cannot be directly extrapolated to humans.
