0
Cefazolin free plasma concentration measurements will be done at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours and 8 hours after drug administration. The pharmacokinetic curve produced will be used to calculate the area under the time-free plasma cefazolin concentration curve.

Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to determine whether patients treated with cefazolin who have incidentally been found to have very low plasma cefazolin concentrations in the course of standard clinical management of invasive bacterial infections have abnormally rapid clearance of this drug. After recovery, these opportunistically-identified patients will be administered a 1g dose of cefazolin and will then have multiple free plasma concentration measurements in the 8 hours post-dose. These data will be used to construct pharmacokinetic curves which will then be compared with known drug pharmacokinetics in normal individuals. Patients will be asked to provide written informed consent prior to enrolment in the study.
