  • Title: Choosing antimicrobials. Factors to consider, available agents.
    Author: Pankey GA, Valainis GT.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1985 May 01; 77(6):137-46. PubMed ID: 3846282.
    Abstract:
    Many factors are involved in choice of an antimicrobial agent. Cost has become a matter of increasing concern. Of course, overall expense for the hospitalized patient includes costs of tests for monitoring for toxicity as well as administration costs, which are affected by the dosing frequency. A reasoned choice necessitates knowledge of the place of newer agents in the therapeutic armamentarium and of some new applications of well-established drugs.
