Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of bacterial and fungal isolates is a common and important technique in most clinical laboratories. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests are either quantitative or qualitative. Discs diffusion is a qualitative test while MIC testing is a quantative test. The results of these tests are used for selection of the most appropriate antimicrobial agent(s) for treatment against the infectious organisms and also in detection of any mechanisms of resistance amongst the pathogens. HiMedia cater this need by providing a complete range of antimicrobial susceptibility tests for the selection of appropriate antimicrobial agents. |
