2. Figure 1
Serum or tissue antibiotic concentration assessed over time after delivery. Drug concentrations less than the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) suggest that the pathogen is not susceptible, and first-step resistant mutants will not be inhibited. Drug concentrations between the MIC and the mutation prevention concentration (MPC) suggest that the pathogen is susceptible but that first-step resistant mutants will not be inhibited. Antibiotic concentrations greater than the MPC will achieve susceptibility for the pathogen as well as inhibit first-step mutant strains. The table provides estimates of the epithelial lining fluid antibiotic concentrations after parenteral administration).9 ELF = epithelial lining fluid.
