It is the method used to give rapid presumptive information about antimicrobial susceptibility without identification of bacteria. Diarectly from organs.
Use of antibiotics disc or powder prepared by antibiotics selling or generating companies, also the protocol are provided by them may be the best solution.
I think we are not speaking about the same technique. I tell about the technique used in veterinary clinics using usual culture media to have rapide response about antibiotic susceptibility testing.
Can you precise if it concerns specific media or current media with specific antibiotic disks or E-tests?
In the first case, you have to check at least bacterial identification (i.e. medium for EBLSE detection with possible growth of Psedomonas). In both cases, some complementary assays can be perfomed to define the real resistance mechanism (molecular biology).
Prof Christine, je vais m'exprimer mieux en Français. Moi je parle de l'antibiogramme d'orientaion que les vétérinaires utilisent pour avoir une reponse rapide. c'est une technique standardisée. Mais peu de données sont disponibles.
Il existe un document émanant de la Société Française de Microbiologie concernant la réalisation et l'interprétation des antibiogrammes dans le domaine vétérinaire. Vous pouvez le trouver sur le site de la CASFM.
