The Apparent pH Stability of Antibiotic Preparations Used for Uterine Infusions in Mares.

ABSTRACT: Infectious endometritis is a primary cause of subfertility in mares. Many manuals and guidelines are available for administering intrauterine infusions of antibiotics and biofilm-disrupting solutions, detailing concentrations, vehicle solutions, and buffers. However, the stability of these combinations has not been documented. Therefore, our study investigated how factors such as storage temperature, concentration, buffer types, combinations of biofilm disruptors, and vehicle solutions affected pH stability over 24 h in uterine infusion preparations commonly used by veterinary theriogenologists to treat endometritis in mares. In experiment 1, amikacin, ampicillin, ceftiofur, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, penicillin G potassium, penicillin G procaine, and ticarcillin clavulanate were diluted i
