Mathematical models analyze antibiotic dosing strategies to optimize bacterial growth rate response.

The study aims to determine the optimal dosing strategies for antibiotics based on bacterial species.
Utilized mathematical models to analyze bacterial populations.
Investigated two dosing strategies: constant concentration and repeated dosing.
Explored pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties in the analysis.
Identified that the shape of the dose-response curve is crucial in determining the best dosing strategy.
Found that the concavity of the curve significantly influences dosing regimen choices.
Highlighted the impact of additional factors, such as tolerable dosing range, when multiple concavities are present.

Childers et al. (2026) studied this question.
