In order to choose the appropriate antibiotics for treating secondary pancreatic infection, permeability of antibiotics to pancreatic tissue was investigated on experimental dogs with acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis. The concentrations of 8 different antibiotics were determined in the blood and the pancreatic tissue using highperformance liquid chromatography. Pancreatic tissue permeability of Cefotaxime, Ofloxacin, Amikacin, Piperacllin, Cefoperazone, Ampicillin, Metronidazole and Ciprofloxacin was 12%, 19%, 20%, 46%, 55%, 63%, 71% and 132% respectively. The study shows that this eight antibiotics have different permeability to the pancreatic tissue. Such observations support the existence of a bloodpancreas barrier, which acts to restrict the permeation of antibiotics into the pancreas. The results suggest that antibiotics with high permeability rate be used to treat the patient with secondary pancreatic infection.
