Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AUC0-24/MIC= 125, in which all relevant commensal Gram-negative bacteria of the intestinal tract will be taken into account.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cmax/MIC = 8, and fAUC0-24/MIC = 90 based on an average unbound fraction of ciprofloxacin of 70% and analyze the frequency of positive cultures with ciprofloxacin-resistant organisms or ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria in patients treated for haematological malignancies.
