Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the microbial kill rate increases proportionally with drug concentration,the antimicrobial is said to have a concentration-dependent effect.If the microbial kill rate is influenced by the time of drug concentration above the minimal inhibitory concentration,the antimicrobial is defined as time dependent (or concentration independent).Another pharmacodynamic phenomenon exhibited by antimicrobials is known as the postantibiotic effect.The postantibiotic effect refers to the sustained suppression of bacterial growth even after the concentration of the antibiotic is no longer detectable.
