Abstract

The treatment of bacterial infections requires the use of antimicrobial medicines. Among the medications we take the most frequently are antibiotics. The best way to administer these medicines has not been well understood until recently. Unfortunately, the rate at which new antibiotics are found has been slowing down as the number of multidrug-resistant pathogens in hospital and community settings has increased. This discovery highlights the importance of finding the best regimens to produce favorable clinical and microbiological results, but it also highlights the need to find regimens that will prevent the establishment of resistance pathogens. It is even more important to keep organisms receptive to currently existing medications, as it will take over ten years for doctors to obtain new agents for multidrug-resistant bacteria. Pharmacodynamics may be used to identify the pharmaceutical openness metric that is closely linked to the capacity to destroy living things and impede the spread of safe animal subpopulations.
