Micafungin pharmacodynamics predict clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with candidemia caused by certain Candida species
ConclusionsCART-derived micafungin MIC and AUC/MIC breakpoints predicted patient mortality and treatment failure for certain Candida species. These results support the need for further PK/PD studies to optimize echinocandin dosing and improve patient outcomes.
