Abstract:
BASIC programs have been written to analyse minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) antimicrobial susceptibility results for large numbers of organisms and a wide variety of antimicrobials. The output of the programs lists the numbers, percentages, cumulative numbers and cumulative percentages of organisms inhibited at different concentrations. The distribution of MICs are additionally printed as a histogram. The range, MIC for 50% and 90% of organisms (MIC50 and MIC90 respectively), and the geometric mean MIC of each drug are also calculated.
