Abstract
The most compelling reason for practicing judicious antimicrobial use is to facilitate therapeutic success. The definition of therapeutic success has changed in recent years, however; not only does success include eradication of infection, but it must now include avoidance of resistance. If the goal of antimicrobial therapy is to achieve sufficient concentrations at the site of infection such that the infecting organism is killed, therapy should be successful.
