Principles of Choice of the Proper Antimicrobial Agent
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
In choosing the appropriate antimicrobial agent for therapy for a given infection, a number of important factors must be considered. First, the identity of the infecting orgamism must be known, or at the very least, it must be possible to arrive
at
a
reasonanble statistical guess as to its identity on the basis of clinical information. Second, we must have as accurate information as possible about the antimicrobial susceptibility (or potential susceptibility) of the infecting organism.
Finally,
a
series of so-called host factors must be taken into considertion to arrive at the optimal choice of antimicrobial agent. Each of these items will be considered in this review.
