Abstract excerpt
A major clinical challenge for treating infectious diseases is the duration of antimicrobial therapy required to eradicate the pathogen. We hypothesized that modulation of the bacterial replication rate in the context of an antimicrobial exposure is coupled with the rate and extent of bactericidal effects. Herein we describe results from in vitro infection model (one compartment, 24-h model; hollow fiber, 10-day...
