| Abstract | In many countries, high rates of mortality and morbidity from infectious diseases represent high social and economic costs. Cefazolin sodium is a semi-synthetic β-lactam antimicrobial for parenteral use, belonging to the first-generation cephalosporin's group. Its use in clinical practice stands out for its effectiveness as a therapeutic agent and in surgical prophylaxis, having great importance in the fight against many diseases. This paper reports the development and validation of an efficient, accurate, reproducible, and low cost microbiological assay by a turbidimetric method to quantify cefazolin in the lyophilized powder form. These requirements are essential for the analysis of this cephalosporin in the pharmaceutical industry. The assay is based on the inhibitory effect of cefazolin sodium upon the strain of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 26923 used as the test microorganism. The method was validated according to the ICH guidelines and the results were treated by analysis of variance (ANOVA), proving to be linear (r2 = 0.9999 for the reference substance and r2 = 0.9995 for the sample), in the selected range from 6 to 11.76 μg mL−1, precise (RSD values < 2.0%), robust and accurate (99.92%). The developed method showed excellent validation results, and the statistical analysis corroborated with its assessment. Furthermore, Student's t-test showed no statistically significant difference between the proposed turbidimetric method and an UV spectrophotometry method previously validated. Thus, the validated method is able to quantify cefazolin sodium in the powder form for injectable solution, while being an economical and rapid alternative for its routine analysis in quality control. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
