  1. a50% fT>MIC, 50% time above the minimum inhibitory concentration; 100% fT>MIC, 100% time above the minimum inhibitory concentration; CFR, Cumulative fraction of response; CLCR, Creatinine clearance. Data represent the CFR when targeting 50% fT>MIC and 100% fT>MIC with a range of CLCR values following a 4.5 g piperacillin-tazobactam dose administered every 6 hours as an intermittent 20 minute infusion. The wild-type MIC distrubiton of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been employed. Boldface represents those CLCR values where target exposures would be achieved in at least 80% of isolates.
