Abstract
Variations in antibiotic pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics allow therapy to be readily adapted to the outpatient setting. Factors to be taken into account when designing an outpatient parenteral regimen include minimal inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations, postantibiotic effect, half-life, protein binding, drug stability, IM versus IV administration, and continuous versus intermittent infusion.
