antimicrobial susceptibility testing(English)
- aims to ensure that suitable antibiotics are prescribed and to monitor the selection and emergence of resistant pathogens in infected individuals. Information on local patterns of antimicrobial susceptibility can be collected using this approach, so that policies guiding the empiric choice of therapy can be based on current data on local resistance trends (also known as the local or institutional antibiogram). It can also help to identify isolates with defined resistance mechanisms of major interest to infection prevention and control (for example, extended-spectrum ß-lactamase producers, carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, methicillin-resistant S. aureus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci). Furthermore, AST is key for the assessment of resistance incidence and prevalence in epidemiological studies that examine the origin and spread of resistance, including studies on the effectiveness of measures taken to counteract spread
