Overview of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) / Antibiogram

DrChika

When a pathogenic microorganism is isolated from the specimen of a patient, the clinical microbiology laboratory will often carry out in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing (antibiogram) on the isolated pathogen in order to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of the microbe to a range of antibiotics/drugs using antibiotic susceptibility disks, so that treatment can be
