Pharmacological Approaches to Evaluating Drug Regimens to Address Antimicrobial Resistance (R01)

archived

The purpose of this FOA is to support antimicrobial pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies of drug combinations or sequentially administered (sequenced) antimicrobial agents in relevant in vitro and animal models to enhance understanding of the host, drug and microbial factors that contribute to the emergence of antimicrobial drug resistance in clinically relevant pathogens with a goal of minimizing the potential for development of resistance. A secondary objective is to establish partnerships among anti-microbial pharmacologists, microbiologists and animal modelers to bridge the gap between antimicrobial pharmacology and its application to fundamental and translational research for the clinical management of drug resistance.
