On a susceptibility report: what does susceptibility dose dependant mean? dose dependant does not mean the bacteria is resistant to the drug tested right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
susceptibility dose dependant? This relates to whether the amount of the drug administered is sufficient to inhibit the growth of particular bacteria. If we were using an antibiotic to treat an infection in a lightly built female we would use a smaller dose that if we were treating a 250 lb man. Does that answer your question!
