Pharmacodynamics of Fluoroquinolones
- Magnitude of 24-Hr AUC/MIC in serum required for 90-100% survival in animal infection models varies from about 25 in immunocompentent animals for Streptococcus pneumoniae to about 100 in immunocompromised animals for gram-negative bacilli
- 24-Hr AUC/MIC values of 25 and 100 are equivalent to averaging one and four times the MIC over a 24-hr period
