How we can classify a bacteral strain as susceptible,
intermediate or resistant ?
These classifications refer to a bacterium's resistance to antibiotics
or chemicals. Susceptible means it is killed by the antibiotic,
intermediate means that it is semi-resistant to the drug, and
resistant means it is unaffected by the drug.
