The 59 pages that link to Antibiotic sensitivity testing, each with the reason it gives.

• Antimicrobial resistanceRelated: Testing translates resistance into evidence that can guide treatment choices.

• AntibioticRelated: Results can identify which antibiotics are likely to work against an infection's isolate.

• Antibiotic resistanceRelated: Clinicians use results to choose treatments likely to work against resistant infections.

• Antimicrobial stewardshipRelated: Its results can guide a switch from empiric to organism-directed treatment.

• Gram-positive bacteriaRelated: Gram status can inform initial treatment expectations but does not replace susceptibility results.

• Urinary tract infectionRelated: Culture results can reveal whether the infecting bacteria resist a proposed antibiotic.

• Escherichia coliRelated: Clinical E. coli isolates are tested to guide treatment and track resistance.

• Staphylococcus aureusRelated: Testing guides treatment because S. aureus strains vary in antibiotic resistance.

• Antibiotic stewardshipRelated: Results can narrow treatment to antibiotics likely to work against the identified pathogen.

• Beta-lactam antibioticRelated: Testing helps identify which beta-lactams can treat an isolate.

• Beta-lactamaseRelated: Susceptibility results guide treatment when beta-lactamase-mediated resistance is suspected.

• Bacterial taxonomyRelated: Correct identification helps interpret susceptibility results and guide bacterial treatment.

• Drug resistanceRelated: Testing helps identify which medicines remain active against an infection.

• Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureusRelated: Testing helps distinguish effective MRSA treatments from drugs compromised by resistance.

• Antibiotic therapyRelated: Results can identify which antibiotics are likely to work against an infection.

• Streptococcus pneumoniaeRelated: Testing guides therapy when a pneumococcal isolate may resist commonly used antibiotics.

• Bacterial cultureRelated: Cultured isolates can be tested to guide antibiotic choice.

• Gram stainRelated: Gram-stain results can inform initial therapy, but do not replace susceptibility testing.

• BacteriologyRelated: It guides treatment choices for bacterial infections.

• ClindamycinRelated: Testing helps establish whether an isolate is susceptible to clindamycin.

• Protein synthesis inhibitorRelated: Testing helps identify whether a protein synthesis inhibitor is likely to work against an isolate.

• Cutibacterium acnesRelated: Testing can guide treatment when this organism causes a confirmed infection.

• GonorrheaRelated: Expanded testing can identify emerging resistant gonorrhea strains and guide treatment.

• Bactericidal antibioticRelated: Results help identify drugs likely to work against the infection's bacterial isolate.

• SalmonellosisRelated: It helps guide drug choice when severe or invasive salmonellosis requires antibiotics.

• Stool cultureRelated: When clinically indicated, isolates can be tested to guide antibiotic choice.

• In vitroRelated: It uses controlled cultures to inform treatment choices.

• AztreonamRelated: Testing determines whether a bacterial isolate is susceptible to aztreonam.

• CeftazidimeRelated: Testing helps establish whether an isolate is susceptible to ceftazidime.

• Klebsiella pneumoniaeRelated: Susceptibility results help guide treatment when a Klebsiella isolate is resistant to common antibiotics.

• Medical microbiologyRelated: Results help match an infection’s isolate to an effective treatment.

• NitrofurantoinRelated: Testing can determine whether a urinary pathogen is susceptible to nitrofurantoin.

• StaphylococcusRelated: Testing guides therapy because staphylococcal strains differ in antibiotic resistance.

• CefiximeRelated: Testing can clarify whether cefixime is likely to work against an isolate.

• Clavulanic acidRelated: Testing can assess whether bacteria remain susceptible to amoxicillin/clavulanate.

• FlucloxacillinRelated: Testing helps establish whether an isolate is susceptible to flucloxacillin and guides treatment choices.
