Antibiotic resistance of bacterial strains in paediatric infections: there are resistance and resistance!

Isolation of a bacterial strain at the infectious site and determination of the susceptibility profile may help to guide appropriate antibiotic treatment. However technical difficulties justify interpretative reading to recognize interfering resistance mechanisms from resistance phenotypes. The aim...

Description
Summary:Isolation of a bacterial strain at the infectious site and determination of the susceptibility profile may help to guide appropriate antibiotic treatment. However technical difficulties justify interpretative reading to recognize interfering resistance mechanisms from resistance phenotypes. The aim of this article is to give some examples showing interpretative reading of routine sensitivity test data.
