Drug Susceptibility Testing

Drug susceptibility testing is a laboratory process used to determine whether a specific bacteria, virus, or fungus causing an infection can be effectively treated with certain medicines. By exposing the microorganisms to different drugs, we observe if they are killed or inhibited from growing. This helps doctors choose the most effective treatment, especially when infections are hard to treat or resistant to standard drugs. The goal is to ensure the patient receives the right medication for the infection to be cured quickly and safely.
