title = "Pharmacokinetics and cerebrospinal fluid penetration of moxalactam in children with bacterial meningitis",
abstract = "The serum pharmacokinetics and CSF penetration of moxalactam were determined in 39 children with bacterial meningitis. The mean serum concentrations 30 minutes after a 37.5 or 50 mg/kg dose were 66.7 and 113 μg/ml, respectively. The t 1/2β was between 1.8 and 2.0 hours. The mean ±1 SD CSF/serum percentage was 18.5±16.0% (range 2.0 to 61%) for all children on any day of therapy or hour, after the last of three 50 mg/kg doses. Cerebrospinal fluid bactericidal titers were ≥1:32 in 13 of 14 CSF specimens. Moxalactam adequately penetrates into the CSF of children with bacterial meningitis after repetitive 50 mg/kg doses.",
