    Abstract:
    1. Ampicillin concentrations in cyst wall (wall) and cyst fluid (fluid) of radicular cyst and serum following a single oral administration of bacampicillin (equivalent to 500 mg of ampicillin) were measured by a paper disk method. 2. The mean peak concentrations of ampicillin in wall, fluid, and serum occurred at identical times, 1.5 hr, and were 2.39 micrograms/g, 0.77, and 10.24 micrograms/ml, respectively. 3. Mean ampicillin concentration ratios of wall/serum, fluid/serum, and fluid/wall at the peak time were 0.23, 0.07, and 0.40, respectively. 4. Mean ampicillin concentrations in wall and fluid at the peak time exceeded MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) for 90% (0.5 microgram/ml) for clinically isolated strains of alpha-hemolytic Streptococci.
