Concentrations and AUC0–24h at steady state were obtained from simulations on 1,000 virtual patients and are given as median (2.5 to 97.5 percentiles). Dose for all regimens is 1,000/500 mg.

b

Abbreviations: AUC0–24h, area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h; ClCr, creatinine clearance; Cmax, maximal concentration at the end of infusion; Cmin, concentration at steady state or plateau concentration in case of continuous infusion; q12h and q24h, administration every 12 h and 24 h, respectively; PTA, probability of target attainment.
