For at bevare virkningen af fluorquinolonerne bør klinikernes valg af antimikrobielle midler ske på evidensbaseret grundlag, dvs. en strategi, hvor man, om nødvendigt på empirisk grundlag, vælger det farmakodynamisk mest potente fluorquinolon svarende til de forventede patogene bakterier.
To maintain the activity of the fluoroquinolone class, clinicians need to implement an evidence-based approach to antimicrobial selection, particularly a strategy in which the most pharmacodynamically potent fluoroquinolone is matched, on an empiric basis when required, to anticipated bacterial pathogens.
