V. Calderon et al., MICROBIOLOGICAL QUANTIFICATION OF ANTIBIOTIC RESIDUES USING 2 ANALYTICAL DESIGNS, Revista espanola de ciencia y tecnologia de alimentos, 34(2), 1994, pp. 210-217
Two analytical designs for the microbiological quantification of antib
iotic residues were compared. Results of accuracy and precision of.a s
implified design and a large plate design were evaluated for two antib
iotics: tetracycline and benzylpenicillin. Results showed similar char
acteristics for both systems. The coefficents of variation ranged from
2.2 to 3.76% for the simplified design and from 3.15 to 4.73% for the
large plate system. The possibility of applying the microbiological q
uantification to antibiotic residues in meat is also discussed.
