Description | A clinical finding that describes the organisms found in a specimen. In addition to this, the resistance or vulnerability of an organism to a drug, often an antibiotic is also recorded. It is used by healthcare practitioners to prescribe the most appropriate medication for the patient's diagnosis. Susceptibilities are identified through microbiology testing. For example: Blood cultures are used to identify organisms like staphylococcus aureus in a person's blood. Sputum cultures are used to identify organisms like klebsiella pneumoniae in a person's sputum. The bacteria clostridium difficile is sensitive to the antibiotic clindamycin. |

Description | The explanation in understandable, non-scientific terms for the specimen test results. For example: Blood Cultures are used to identify organisms like Staphylococcus aureus in a person's blood. Sputum Cultures are used to identify organisms like Klebsiella pneumoniae in a person's sputum. The bacteria Clostridium Difficile is sensitive to the antibiotic clindamycin. |
