Influence of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of antibacterials in their dosing regimen selection

Abstract: The choice of antimicrobial dosing in clinical practice in the past was based upon a 'penicillin mentality', that is, on the assumption that the in vivo antimicrobial efficacy is dependent on the duration of drug levels above the minimum inhibitory concentration of target microorganisms. Really, a rational antimicrobial therapy is strongly related to a basic understanding of the influence the patient has on the antibiotic (pharmacokinetics [PKs]) and the patient's response to the specific drug effects (pharmac… Show more

“…During the last decades, PK/PD considerations have gained a central role in optimizing clinical efficacy of antibiotic therapies and in preventing bacterial resistance (6,8,27,34). While for erythromycin various studies have determined its concentrations in blood including concentrations in WBCs, until now no study has investigated the PK in the interstitial space fluid of soft tissues, perhaps the most important compartment of bacterial infections (7,32).…”

“…In the last decade it has become apparent that the intrinsic pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of antimicrobial agents are the major determinants of their in vivo efficacy and knowledge of them enables the use of optimal dosing regimens and the determination of clinically relevant susceptibility breakpoints [6]. In this paper M a n u s c r i p t the use of PK/PD relationships is discussed, with a special focus on agents against Gram-positive organisms.…”
