Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the ongoing battle against bacterial infections, optimizing antibiotic use stands as a fundamental objective at the intersection of science and clinical practice. Antibiotic pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKs/PDs) are pivotal in determining the efficacy of antibiotic treatments and in addressing the emergence of resistance. The interplay between laboratory research and clinical practice, a fruitful stewardship including different professionals, is a dynamic field that holds promise in enhancing the therapeutic management of infectious diseases.
Within this Special Issue, we encourage the submission of original research, reviews, clinical studies, and interdisciplinary collaborations that delve into antibiotic PK/PD principles. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include the following: in vitro and in vivo studies, dosing strategies, therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacogenomics, and the application of PK/PD concepts in real-world clinical scenarios. By fostering a scholarly exchange at this intersection, we aim to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of antibiotic pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, thereby promoting evidence-based clinical decision making, improving patient outcomes, and combating the growing menace of antibiotic resistance.
