Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic and Dose-Response Relationships of Antituberculosis Drugs: Recommendations and Standards for Industry and Academia [PDF]
Antimicrobial pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) science is vital to early antibiotic drug development to enable more efficient dose-effect study designs, identification of doses that may suppress drug resistance and choice of susceptibility breakpoints.
