The goal of in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing is to assess the activity of an antimicrobial agent on a bacterial or fun-gal strain in order to predict the likelihood of in vivo eficacy of antimicrobial therapy when the antimicrobial is administered to patients.
The following are 8 quick tips regarding inferred antibiotic susceptibility, which are based on the EUCAST clinical breakpoints document (see references). Amoxicillin can be inferred from ampicillin. Amoxicillin is generally not tested, and ampicillin is less commonly used as an oral formulation.
ANTIBIOTIC SENSITIVITY TESTING I. OBJECTIVES • To utilize specific monitoring techniques to evaluate the susceptibility of a microbe to different antibiotics. • To distinguish the range of activity of an antibiotic. • To recognize and define advantages and limitations of two different susceptibility testing procedures.
