What Does PAE Stand For?
PAE stands for Postantibiotic Effect
PAE, or Postantibiotic Effect, refers to the phenomenon where bacterial growth remains suppressed after the exposure to an antibiotic has ceased. This effect is significant in understanding the duration of antibiotic action and implications for dosing regimens. It provides insight into the time required for bacteria to recover, aiding in the effective management of infections and the development of antibiotic therapies.
