Antibiotic sensitivity test PPT by Dr.C.P.PRINCEDR.PRINCE C P
Antibiotic sensitivity test: in vitro testing of bacterial cultures with antibiotics to determine susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotic therapy.
A laboratory test which determines how effective antibiotic therapy is against a bacterial infections.
Antibiotic sensitivity testing will control the use of Antibiotics in clinical practice
Testing will assist the clinicians in the choice of drugs for the treatment of infections.
Helps to guide the Physician in choosing Antibiotics
The accumulated results on different pathogens their sensitivity will guide the physician in choosing empirical treatment in serious patients before the individual’s laboratory results are analyzed in the Microbiology laboratory.
Reveals the changing trends in the local isolates.
Helps the local pattern of antibiotic prescribing.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Students, digital devices and success - Andreas Schleicher - 27 May 2024..pptxEduSkills OECD
Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Definition and Purpose
• In vitro tests that measure the growth of an
isolated microbe in the presence of particular
drug or drugs (antibiotics) in order
to predict the in vivo success or failure of
antibiotic therapy
• The results - guide the choice of antibiotics (+
clinical information and experience)
3. Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobial Agents
• Natural:
– genetically determined for all members of a bacterial
species
• Acquired:
– Present only in certain strains of a naturally sensitive
species
Natural spectrum = list of microbial species
naturally sensitive to an antibiotic
4. Methods for antimicrobial susceptibility
testing (1)
• Disk difusion (Kirby Bauer):
– swab bacterial suspension on agar plate
– place small filter paper disks impregnated with
a standard amount of antibiotic
– incubate overnight
– zone of inhibition of bacterial growth =
measure of susceptibility (predefined cutoffs):
• large zone = susceptible
• small / no zone = resistant
• zone between the above = intermediate
5. Disc difusion antimicrobial susceptibility
testing (Kirby Bauer)
• Pure culture of the germ to be tested: 4-6 colonies raised
from culture plate with sterile bacteriological loop and
suspended in sterile saline solution
• 0.5 McFarland units turbidity (adjusted by adding more
colonies if required)
6. Disc difusion antimicrobial susceptibility
testing (Kirby Bauer)
• Bacterial suspension evenly
swabed on Müller Hinton agar,
blood agar, complex media
with swab or L-shaped
bacteriological loop
7. Disc difusion antimicrobial susceptibility
testing (Kirby Bauer)
• Place antibiotic disks
depending on known natural
spectrum of tested
microorganism
8. Disc difusion antimicrobial susceptɄbility
testing (Kirby Bauer)
• Antibiotics sets (e.g.):
– Current use: Penicillin G (P), Oxacillin (O), Ampicillin (A),
Streptomycin (S), Kanamycin (K), Chloramphenicol (C),
Tetracyclin (T), Erythromycin (E)
– Additional set for digestive infections: Bacitracin (B),
Furazolidone (Fu), Neomycin (Ne), Polymyxin B (Po)
– Additional set for urinary infections: Nalidixic Acid (Nx),
Colistin (Co), ...

10. Methods for antimicrobial susceptibility
testing (2)
• MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) =
minimum concentration of antibiotic that will
inhibit the growth of a microorganism
Measurement methods:
- Broth dilution
- E-test (Epsilometer test)
11. MIC (continued): Measurement methods
Broth dilution:
- Bacteria inoculated in culture broth + antibiotic (various
concentrations) and incubated
- MIC = the lowest concentration of antibiotic which
inhibited bacterial growth
12. MIC (continued): Measurement methods
E-test:
- plastic strips impregnated with
decreasing antibiotic
concentrations (log scale)
- strips applied on agar
microbial culture and
incubated
- eliptic inhibition zone intersects
the MIC value scale (μg/ml) at
the level of MIC
- shape resembles Greek letter
”Epsilon” (ε)
13. Methods for antimicrobial susceptibility
testing (3)
• MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration) = minimum
concentration of antibiotic that will kill 99.9-100% of the
microbes of a tested bacterial strain
- Less used than MIC; more time consuming
- Indicated in:
- severe infections in immunocompromised patients,
- infections in anatomic sites hard to reach with antibiotics e.g.
endocarditis, osteomyelitis

susceptibility testing (AST)
• Methodology for performing the tests:
– Standard operational procedures (SOPs)
– Interpretation of results (cutoff diameters S / R)
– Recommended antibiotic sets for various pathogens
