Understanding the Antibiogram

2020
Possessing an understanding of the antibiogram is important as it allows interpretation of susceptibility results, inferring resistance mechanisms, detecting potential erroneous results and requesting additional sensitivity results. In addition, it is important to realize that in vitro sensitivity results may not necessarily be applicable to in vivo ...

[Interpretive reading of enterobacteria antibiograms].

Enfermedades infecciosas y microbiologia clinica, 2010
The resistance pattern observed in the antibiogram of an isolate should be the sum of its natural resistance pattern, characteristic of the species, plus the acquired resistances. In Enterobacteriaceae, the production of inactivating enzymes is the main mechanism of resistance to beta-lactams and aminoglycosides.
