Repeat antimicrobial susceptibility testing of identical isolates.

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
R B ThomsonR A Burgoon

Abstract

Duplicate antimicrobial susceptibility test results were reviewed over a 1-year period to determine whether repeat testing of sequential isolates with the same identification from the same patient and specimen site was necessary. In our institution, repeat testing is always needed for coagulase-negative staphylococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and is needed after 3 days for members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, but it is not routinely necessary for Staphylococcus aureus.

Antimicrobial Resistance

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.

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.
