ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
Antibiotic resistant bacteria causes more deaths than many communicable diseases like AIDS ,Malaria etc and very often sepsis due to multi drug resistant bacteria is a common terminal event in critically ill patients
Reliable and timely culture and sensitivity studies are very important in the mangement of infections due to bacteriae and fungi,esp in sick hospitalised patients and also in outpatient practice in conditions like urinary tract infections.Timely rapid diagnosis and sensitivity studies have an important role in managing infections
