Laboratory issues in the detection and reporting of antibacterial resistance

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America
J H Jorgensen

Abstract

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance among several common bacterial pathogens requires that clinical microbiology laboratories have the ability to promptly and accurately recognize resistance in patients' isolates. Laboratories have several options for performing routine susceptibility testing, including the broth microdilution procedure (with or without instrumentation for test reading), automated instrument systems that provide rapid results, antibiotic gradient diffusion, and disk diffusion procedures. In addition, there are definitive screening tests capable of recognizing resistance to drugs of choice among several common bacterial species based on single drug concentration tests or rapid spot tests. The likely emergence of still newer resistance mechanisms will provide a challenge to clinical microbiologists to devise accurate, yet cost-effective strategies for use in the future.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
