Abstract
Residues of penicillins in milk or tissues are traditionally analyzed by microbiological tests. However, these techniques can give false-positive results caused by active metabolites or antibacterial endo- or exogenic substances that may interfere in microbiological methods. Another drawback is poor precision. While bioassay procedures can distiguish resulting penicillin residues from other antibiotics by use of penicillinase, they cannot distinguish penicillins from one other. By the introduction of chromatographic procedures it is possible to separate and identify different penicillins. The main problem is that if they are to be of any value as confirmatory methods they must equal or exceed the sensitivity of the microbiological screening tests at least as long as maximum residue limits are set at these levels.
