Construction of the CKC method was based on the bactericidal effect of each antibiotic against the bacterial strain versus the concentration in two dimensions and may be a more valid, accurate, and reproducible method for estimating the bactericidal effect than the endpoint minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) method. Mathematically, the CKC approach was point symmetrical toward its inflexion (BC\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>\n                    \/2); thus, 2BC\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    could replace MBC. The parameter BC\n                    <jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>\n                    can be defined as BC\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    + [ln(\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2212 1)\/\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    ], which is the drug concentration at which only one colony survived and which is the least critical value of MBC in the CKC. The variate\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    , which determined the tangent slope on inflexion when\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>\n                    was limited, could estimate the bactericidal intensity of an antibiotic. This verified that the CKC approach may be useful in studies with other classes of antibiotics and has considerable value as a tool for the accurate and proper administration of antibiotics.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aac.48.10.3884-3891.2004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,23]],"date-time":"2004-09-23T15:02:50Z","timestamp":1095951770000},"page":"3884-3891","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Novel Concentration-Killing Curve Method for Estimation of Bactericidal Potency of Antibiotics in an In Vitro Dynamic Model"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Y.
