The test determines the susceptibility of a microbial species against different antibiotic agents. The introduction of various antimicrobials for treating variety of infections showed the necessity of performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing as a routine procedure in all microbiology laboratories.
Tests are performed in vitro, and measure the growth response of an isolated organism to a particular drug or drugs. The tests are performed under standardized conditions so that the results are reproducible. The test results should be used to guide antibiotic choice. The results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing should be combined with clinical information and experience when selecting the most appropriate antibiotic for your patient. What is the output from antimicrobial susceptibility testing? The raw data are either in the form of a zone size or MIC. CLSI has published interpretation criteria for these tests, which has come from extensive testing and clinical correlation.
