Editor's Pick PharmacologyModel-Based Relationship between the Molecular Bacterial Load Assay and Time to Positivity in Liquid CultureThe molecular bacterial load (MBL) assay is a new tuberculosis biomarker which provides results in ∼4 hours. The relationship between MBL and time-to-positivity (TTP) has not been thoroughly studied, and predictive models do not exist. We aimed to develop a model for MBL and identify the MBL-TTP relationship in patients.
PharmacologyComparative Performance of Urinary Biomarkers for Vancomycin-Induced Kidney Injury According to Timeline of InjuryUrinary biomarkers are superior to serum creatinine for defining onset and extent of kidney injury. This study classifies the temporal predictive ability of biomarkers for vancomycin-induced kidney injury (VIKI) as defined by histopathologic damage.
