A simple mathematical model to determine the ideal empirical antibiotic therapy for bacteremic patients
Background: Local epidemiological data are always helpful when choosing the best antibiotic regimen, but it is more complex than it seems as it may require the analysis of multiple combinations. The aim of this study was to demonstrate a simplified mathematical calculation to determine the most appr...
