Active Comparator
Placebo Comparator
Group I
Group II
Group I received intravenous imipenem/cilastatin 1 g every 8 h (q8h) or 0.5g every 6 h (q6h) with optimized two-step infusion therapy (OTIT; rapid first-step infusion in 30 min and slow second-step infusion above 1.5 hours) "Group I" is more informative than "Group II" from PK parameters(%T>MIC,AUC/MIC).
group II received intravenous imipenem/cilastatin 1g q8h or 0.5g q6h with extended infusion therapy (2-hours continuous infusion in a constant speed). "Group I" is more informative than "Group II" from PK parameters(%T>MIC,AUC/MIC).
