Course Details

Introduction to Antibiotic Pharmacokinetics (PBK): Understanding the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of antibiotics in the human body.
Pharmacodynamics of Antibiotics (PD): Exploring the relationship between drug concentration and antimicrobial effects.
PK/PD Index Calculation: Learning the methods to calculate pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) indices such as AUC/MIC, Cmax/MIC, and T>MIC.
Antibiotic Time Course Analysis: Evaluating the time course of antibiotic exposure and its relationship with bacterial killing.
Population PK/PD Analysis: Investigating the inter-patient variability in PK/PD indices and its impact on antibiotic efficacy and safety.
Optimization of Antibiotic Dosing: Designing dosing regimens based on PK/PD principles to maximize therapeutic outcomes and minimize resistance development.
Integrating PK/PD in Antibiotic Stewardship: Understanding the role of PK/PD principles in antibiotic stewardship programs and infection control policies.
Clinical Applications of PK/PD: Exploring the use of PK/PD principles in the management of severe infections such as sepsis and infective endocarditis.
Emerging Concepts in Antibiotic PK/PD: Investigating new trends and areas of research in antibiotic PK/PD, including biomarkers, individualized dosing, and novel drug delivery systems.
