摘要
Sepsis and septic shock are common in critically ill patients and, as recommended by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC), early empiric antimicrobial therapy, specifically within the first hour, is crucial for the successful management of these conditions. To be effective, the antimicrobial therapy must also be appropriately administered: the drugs should cover the most probable pathogens and achieve effective concentrations at the site of infection. However, pharmacokinetics are frequently altered in critically ill patients and continuously change since the clinical conditions of these patients quickly and markedly change over time, either improving or deteriorating. Accordingly, optimizing antimicrobial drug dosing is fundamental in intensive care units (ICUs). This Special Issue of Microorganisms examines the epidemiology, diagnostic innovations, and strategies applied in the context of infections in critically ill patients with MDR infections.
