Ability of a prolonged infusion of 40 mg/kg to attain a trough free-drug concentration >1.7 times the baseline MIC, a value associated with resistance emergence suppression when meropenem is administered with an aminoglycoside, or to attain a trough free-drug concentration >6.2 times the baseline MIC, a value associated with resistance emergence suppression when meropenem is administered alone (33).
