Albur (in press) Conclusions:
For some “older” agents drug exposure is linked to adverse events (teicoplanin, chloramphenicol, co-trimoxazole, colistin, aminoglycosides)
Clinical evidence is usually weak and no evidence TDM helps (except aminoglycosides)
TDM likely to have some role especially for colistin and aminoglycosides
Risk of emergence of resistance for “old” agents follows same course as “developmental”. Potential© mitigating by factorsauthor are short duration, high exposure, front loading, combinations. ESCMID Online Lecture Library
