MSW mutant selection window, MPC mutant prevention concentration, LD loading dose of 3.0 mg/kg, NC not computable because polymyxin B MIC is higher than maximum. Values reported as mean ± SD.

aAll regimens were 1-h infusions.

bMeropenem and fosfomycin regimens were administered as 3-h prolonged infusions.

cTMSW or T>MPC was calculated as the percentage of the first 24 h.
