Pharmacodynamics of Voriconazole in a Dynamic In Vitro Model of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis: Implications for In Vitro Susceptibility Breakpoints
25 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Voriconazole is a first-line agent for the treatment of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). There are increasing reports of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates with reduced susceptibility to voriconazole. METHODS: An in vitro dynamic model of IPA was developed that enabled simulation of human-like voriconazole pharmacokinetics. Galactomannan was used as a biomarker. The pharmacodynamics of voriconazole...
