    Abstract

    Antimicrobial pharmacodynamics are an area of considerable importance in terms of dose regimen optimisation and clinical outcome. The pharmacodynamic properties of penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, quinolones, glycopeptides and aminoglycosides are reviewed; the impact such knowledge may have in the future on how we dose these agents is discussed.
