The sensitivity to antibiotics was evaluated with the use of the paper disc method on the agar base with 5% of sheep blood cells added and on Mueller-Hinton base. The paper discs were Polish-made and the results were interpreted according to the producers suggestions. The results indi...
The statistical methods and parameters commonly used to define bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics in vitro such as MIC 50, linear regression or others, usually lead to a considerable loss of information: they do not take into account the heterogeneity of the bacterial population. In contrast, ...
removed strong interferences from blood constituents. Using them as the biomarkers of bacterial metabolic responses to antibiotics, the protocol reported the susceptibility profiles of tested drugs against these two bacteria acquired from patients’ blood with high specificity, sensitivity and speed. Similar...
By contrast, the use of periodic and short (3–8 h) lethal antibiotic treatments leads to mutants that have increased tolerance to antibiotics, i.e., their ability to survive but not grow under antibiotic pressure, for instance due to increased lag time or reduction of proton motive force4...
There is therefore a need to determine empirical antibiotics suitable in such situations.Objective: The aims of the study were to identify the pathogens causing UTI in pregnant and non-pregnant women, determine their antimicrobial sensitivity patterns and suggest appropriate empirical antimicrobial agents ...

In all cases, it is important to monitor the clinical response and antibiotics should be reviewed and appropriately altered onceantibiotic sensitivitiesare known, or if a patient is not improving. A repeat CSF examination should be performed if there is concern about antibiotic sensitivity or selectio...
Chi-Hung Lin4, Po-Ren Hsueh6, Juen-Kai Wang5,7 &Yuh-Lin Wang5,8 Rapid bacterial antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measurement are important to help reduce the widespread misuse of antibiotics and alleviate the growing drug-resistance problem...
and more serious than that in western countries,which means the problem of bacterial resistance trouble the medical personnel in the whole world.The correct use of antibiotics can not only ensure the effect of anti-infective therapy,but also to reduce the adverse reactions and delay the occurrence...
caused ToxI levels to drop during infection20. However, this model fails to explain the different specificity of anti-phage activity observed among the Type III TA-Abi systems. While phage mutant sequencing studies have revealed a diversity of Abi-sensitivity genes and escape mechanisms, further und...
