In Vitro Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modelling and Simulation of Amphotericin B against <i>Candida auris</i>

The aims of this study were to characterize the antifungal activity of amphotericin B against <i>Candida auris</i> in a static in vitro system and to evaluate different dosing schedules and MIC scenarios by means of semi-mechanistic pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modelling and s...
