Introduction

The medical microbiology laboratory has a variety of testing and workflow requirements that manage to separate it from other biomedical labs.

This brief topical article will examine the typical types of testing that occur in medical microbiology labs.


Blah blah blah

  • Antibiograms: An antibiogram is a cumulative summary or "overall profile of [in vitro] susceptibility testing results for a specific microorganism to an array of antimicrobial drugs," often given in a tabular form.[1] There are multiple approaches to antibiograms for a wide variety of susceptibility testing, common to microbiology labs.[2] The nuances of susceptibility testing and antibiograms drive reporting requirements, particularly to the standard CLSI M39 Analysis and Presentation of Cumulative Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test Data.[3][4]
