Immunoassay reagents intended to perform quantitative analyses on a body fluid sample (e.g., serum, plasma) to measure levels of netilmycin, a semisynthetic aminoglycoside bactericidal agent, present in the sample. Netilmycin is used in the treatment of a wide variety of gram-negative bacteria and also for some gram-positive bacteria. Reagents for netilmycin drug level measurement are used to monitor therapeutic drug levels in patients undergoing treatment, either to determine the adequacy of drug treatment or to diagnose a drug overdose or drug-related toxicity. A prolonged netilmycin level of more than 16 micrograms per milliliter in blood is considered toxic.
