7 ANTIBIOGRAM Interpreative reading of the antibiogram Phenotype - Resistance Susceptibility testing results for a concrete microorganism considering a GROUP of antimicrobial agents (usually of the same family)

8 ANTIBIOGRAM Interpreative reading of the antibiogram 1.- Define Phenotype of susceptibility and Resistance 2.- Deduce the possible mechanism of resistence 3.- Adequate Clinical Categories to the inferred mechanism of resistance, and change phenotype if necessary

17 Interpreative reading Identification of the microorganism (To species level)) Analysis of susceptibility/resistance Phenotype - Groups (families) of antimicrobial agents - Antimicrobial indicators of resistance Define Phenotype - Common Phenotypes - Unusual Phenotypes - Impossible Phenotypes Deduce biochemical mechanism of resistance Clinical Relevance of the inferred resistance Re-define Clinical Categories

18 Requirements of Interpretative reading of the antibiogram Identification of the microorganism Analysis of S/I/R phenotype Use of indicator agents Study antibiotic-inhibitor combinations Quantitative study of susceptibility Use of high inocula (in some occasions) Local epidemiology information Availability of reference methods R. Cantón. Enferm Infecc Microbiol Clin 2002; 20:
