This can not be achieved unless the nature and patterns of the resistance to antibiotics among the pathogenic bacteria has been described earlier.

متن کاملAccuracy of human papillomavirus testing on self-collected versus clinician-collected samples: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Screening for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is more effective in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer than screening using Pap smears. Moreover, HPV testing can be done on a vaginal sample self-taken by a woman, which offers an opportunity to improve screening coverage.
