Antibiotic treatment and susceptibility testing [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2005
A 60 year old tale The concept of attacking invading microorganisms without harming the host was first introduced by Paul Ehrlich. In 1910 he discovered “salvarsan”, which he announced as a magic bullet for the treatment of syphilis. Penicillin, produced by the fungus, Penicillium notatum , was first discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, purified ...

Interpretative reading of antimicrobial susceptibility testing of gram-negative bacteria from clinical isolates

Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, 2023
Introduction: The reading of antibiotic sensitivity testing goes beyond the determination of the bacterial sensitivity profile. The interpretive reading of antibiotic susceptibility tests based on different patterns observed with beta-lactam agents is ...
