  • Chapter
Immunology and Infectious Disease

Part of the book series: Molecular and Cellular Biology of Critical Care Medicine ((MCCM,volume 3))

Abstract

The goal of maximizing efficacy and minimizing antimicrobial resistance can be termed optimizing therapy. To achieve optimal therapy, a number of outcomes must be met (Table 1).
