To determine:
The reason for using antimicrobial susceptibility test for identifying the unknown organism in the laboratory.
Introduction:
In a clinical laboratory, it is important to isolate potential pathogen from the given sample fastly and accurately. Differentiating the pathogen as
Explanation of Solution
In clinical
The reason for using antimicrobial susceptibility test for identifying the unknown organism in the laboratory is to suspect the antibiotics that are now resistant to pathogens and the other medicines that can be used to kill these pathogens.
