Outline of Final Research Achievements

Few studies for antibiotic therapy in pediatric patients have been conducted due to ethical, practical, and economic considerations, and thus, establishment of pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics parameters and optimal dosage regimens are clinically important.
In this present study, it has been revealed that vancomycin trough level of 10-15 mg/L and amikacin minimum concentration of below 10 mg/L are superior benefit for pediatric patients. Moreover, gentamicin dosages below 7.5 mg/kg/day are effective and safe for use in infant patients.
