Therapeutic drug monitoring of beta-lactam antibiotics is increasingly used for dose optimization in the individual patient to increase efficacy and reduce the risk of toxicity. The objective of this work is to develop and validate a fast and reliable method using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometrie detection to quantify simultaneously amoxicillin, cloxacillin, cefazolin, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, cefepime, meropenem and piperacillin in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Sample clean-up included protein precipitation with acetonitrile followed by evaporation of the supernatant and reconstitution of the residue with mobile phase solvents. Eight deuterated beta-lactam antibiotics were used as internal standards. Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column (50 mm x 2.1 mm) using a binary gradient elution of water and acetonitrile both containing 0.1% (v/v) formic acid. The total run time was 8 min. The method was then used to perform therapeutic drug monitoring on 2221 patient plasma samples. 32 CSF samples were also analyzed. This method, with its simple sample preparation provides sensitive, accurate and precise quantification of the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid concentration of beta-lactam antibiotics and can be used for therapeutic drug monitoring.
