Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Fluoroquinolones are commonly believed to exhibit concentration-dependent killing, but time-kill studies have revealed that fluoroquinolone activity could be a complex combination of concentration-dependent and -independent killing. We had previously developed a mathematical modelling framework to describe the dynamics of bacterial populations under the effect of antimicrobials, which could facilitate...
