Hypermutable bacteria are causing a drastic problem via their enhanced ability to become resistant. Our objectives were to compare bacterial killing and resistance emergence between differently shaped tobramycin concentration-time profiles at a given fAUC/MIC, and determine the tobramycin exposure durations that prevent resistance.
