PBPK Modeling and Simulation of Antibiotics Amikacin, Gentamicin, Tobramycin, and Vancomycin Used in Hospital Practice

The importance of closely observing patients receiving antibiotic therapy, performing therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), and regularly adjusting dosing regimens has been extensively demonstrated. Additionally, antibiotic resistance is a contemporary concerningly dangerous issue. Optimizing the use o...
