| Abstract | Abstract The laboratory report or lack of a report for susceptibility testing can influence the choice of drugs used to treat patients. In addition to knowing and accurately reporting results for drugs tested, the laboratory must be aware of both appropriate and inappropriate drug/organism reporting based on knowledge of treatment failures and successes. Because results for one drug that is tested can predict or not predict susceptibility to other drugs, laboratories should consider annotating their reports to explain confusing or misleading results. Communication with those prescribing antimicrobial therapy is imperative to understanding the implications and consequences of the reports generated by the laboratory. |
