Several factors influence the concentration of an antimicrobial agent:
1. Pharmacokinetics: This involves the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the drug. 2. Dosage: The amount of medication prescribed can affect its concentration in the body. 3. Patient Factors: Age, weight, liver and kidney function, and other individual factors can impact how a drug is processed in the body. 4. Infection Site: The location of the infection can influence how well the antimicrobial agent reaches the site.
