    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Veterinary Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Accurate determination of bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics is essential for effective treatment.
    • Current methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) lack standardization, leading to variable results.
    • There is a significant need for reliable and reproducible AST protocols.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the suitability of the Bauer-Kirby method for standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
    • To assess the applicability of this method in veterinary medicine.
    • To highlight the importance of interpreting in vitro results within clinical and local contexts.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantitative dilution tests and qualitative diffusion tests are commonly used for AST.
    • The Bauer-Kirby method, a diffusion-based technique, is proposed as a standardized approach.

  • Results are categorized into 'sensitive', 'resistant', and 'showing diminished sensitivity'.

    • Main Results:

    • The Bauer-Kirby method is identified as the most suitable current technique for standardized AST.
    • This method is deemed applicable for use in veterinary medicine.
    • Interpretation of results relies on pharmacological, bacteriological, and clinical criteria.

    Conclusions:

    • Standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing is critical for optimizing antibacterial therapy.
    • The Bauer-Kirby method offers a standardized approach to AST, applicable in human and veterinary medicine.
    • Clinical validation of in vitro results is necessary, especially considering local conditions and treatment specifics.
