Antibiotic testing

Antibiotic testing is a method used to determine whether a specific antibiotic is effective against certain bacteria. In a lab, bacteria are isolated from infections and exposed to different antibiotics. The goal is to see which antibiotic can inhibit the growth of the bacteria. Results help doctors choose the most effective treatment for infections, which is crucial because some bacteria can be resistant to certain antibiotics. This testing plays an essential role in personalizing treatment and combating antibiotic resistance, ensuring better patient outcomes.
