MIC creep - how to calculate and interpret?

04 February 2018 0 832 Report

Please suggest some reputed literatures on calculation and interpretation of MIC creep in bacterial strains. I am finding Rifampicin MIC creep among Staphylococcus over the last 2 years. Could it be linked to tuberculosis drugs? Could it be treated as surrogate marker for ascertaining tuberculosis drug usage and in a broad sense, Tuberculosis prevalence?
