Abstract excerpt
The time inside the mutant selection window (TMSW) has been shown to be less predictive of selection of fluoroquinolone-resistant bacteria than the ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve to minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC/MIC). To explore the different predictive powers of TMSW and AUC/MIC, enrichment of ciprofloxacin-resistant mutants of four Escherichia coli strains was studied in an in...
