antibiotic sensitivity (Kirby-Bauer susceptibility testing)

Laboratory: - selective susceptibility reporting may reduce use of antibiotics with increasing resistance [2] - at a large community teaching hospital, ciprofloxacin susceptibility of Enterobacteriaceae was not reported when other antibiotic choices were available [2] - ciprofloxacin non-nsusceptibility was still reported for intermediate susceptibility & resistant organisms [2]
