Figure Lengend Snippet: Expected change in fever clearance time when patients take ofloxacin with %API distributed according to the ofloxacin distribution shown in compared to when they take ofloxacin with 100% API. Negative values indicate that the distribution decreased (i.e., improved) the fever clearance time. The shaded region shows 90% credible intervals. The panels show different target doses (i.e., the dose represented by 100% API). The vertical dashed line indicates the breakpoint for ofloxacin; MICs to the right of this line are considered non-susceptible.
Article Snippet: When exploring how different levels of resistance modified dose effects, both outcomes showed no relationship with ofloxacin dose at MICs deemed susceptible to ofloxacin (i.e., MIC ≤ 0.125 mg/L) by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) ( and ).
