What is antimicrobial pharmacodynamics?
Antimicrobial pharmacodynamics is a branch of pharmacology that studies the interaction between antibiotics and microorganisms. It focuses on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antimicrobial agents and their effects on bacterial physiology, including bacterial growth, survival, and death. The goal is to understand how different concentrations of an antibiotic can affect the growth and survival of bacteria, as well as how bacteria can develop resistance to the antibiotic.
