a

fCmax, free peak concentration of drug in serum; fCmin, free trough concentration of drug in serum; fAUC, free area under the concentration-time curve; T99.9%, time to achieve bactericidal activity with the q12h regimen.

b

Parentheses indicate values computed with the minimal concentration required to inhibit growth of the subpopulation determined by PAP at an initial inoculum of 107 CFU/ml.

c

%fT > MIC, percentage of time the q8h/q12h dosing regimen is above the MIC.
