Using 7 penicillins (amoxicillin, ampicillin, methicillin, penicillin G, oxacillin, cloxacillin, and dicloxacillin), simultaneous and direct determination of residual penicillins in biological samples was carried out by use of bioassay and high-performance liquid chromatography with spectrophotometric or fluorometric detectors. By use of assay medium seeded with penicillin-sensitive Micrococcus luteus (ATCC No. 9341) as a test organism, we were able to detect penicillins even at low concentrations. All penicillins treated with 10 U of penicillinase/ml did not produce inhibition zones by disk testing, even at a concentration of 100 micrograms of penicillin/ml/assay plate. Using a mobile phase of acetonitrile:methanol:0.01M KH2PO4 (19:11:70, v/v/v; pH, 7.1), standard solutions of the penicillins were separated from each other by use of high-performance liquid chromatography analysis, producing symmetric peaks without tailing, each of which had a characteristic retention time. Simultaneous detection of residual penicillins in bovine serum, kidneys, and liver, for the 5 penicillins for which analysis was possible by use of the UV method, yielded recovery rates from 71.4 to 102.3%; for the 2 amino-penicillins, amoxicillin and ampicillin, which could only be detected by use of the fluorometric method, recovery rate ranged from 72.9 to 103%.
