In vitro evaluation of ^99m Tc‐sultamicillin for infection imaging

Early detection of the site of infection non‐invasively with radiolabeled molecules is important for the success of treatment. Technetium‐99m labeled antibiotics have the potential to discriminate between bacterial infection and sterile inflammation. Sultamicillin is the tosylate salt of the double ester of sulbactam plus ampicillin. In this study, sultamicillin was labeled with 99m Tc according to the stannous chloride method. Quality control...
