Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
[antibiotics] in blood versus bactericidal activity30 minutes before second antibiotic dose (expected maximum of 7 days; days 1 to 7)

The primary endpoint for the DALI study is the comparison of antibiotic concentrations in patient blood samples with bacteriological objectives associated with maximum bactericidal activity. The antibiotics studied are certain lactams (endpoint pharmacokinetics 50 and 100% T\> MIC) and glycopeptides (100% T\> 4xCMI and report ASC0-24/CMI ≥ 350).
