Glossary: Infections and Antibiotics

چکیده
An antibiogram is a laboratory test to identify the susceptibility or resistance of bacterial pathogens to antibiotics. It should ideally be carried out before any antibiotic therapy is administered. The tests determine whether bacteria can still grow in the presence of an antibiotic whilst also measuring the lowest concentration at which reproduction is prevented. They need about 16–20 hours to complete. Rapid genetic methods to identify existing resistance are based on confirming the presence of genetic sequences that confer resistance. They are considerably faster (about 5 hours) but only indicate the presence of genetic sequences and are not suitable for measuring the inhibitory concentrations.
