The changing face of antibiotic prescribing: the mutant selection window.

The Annals of pharmacotherapy - 1 Oct 2004

Epstein Benjamin J, Gums John G, Drlica Karl

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To describe the mutant selection window, discuss supporting evidence and limitations, and suggest potential applications for clinical practice. DATA SOURCES: A MEDLINE search (1990-December 2003) of the English-language literature was conducted using the key words antibiotic, antimicrobial, resistance, mutant, selection window, prevention, MPC, and MSW in various combinations. Original investigations...
