Introduction
This lecture aims to describe how scientific organizations set breakpoints for antimicrobial drugs. We will discuss how they are determined, the data we need, and the different methods used to set breakpoints. We will also, discuss the concepts of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and dose-dependent breakpoints. We will provide examples of how the concepts of breakpoints can guide therapy for MDR infections.
