important task of the clinical microbiology laboratory. An important task of the clinical microbiology laboratory is the performance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing of significant bacterial isolates. The goals of susceptibility testing are to detect possible drug resistance in common pathogens and to verify that the pathogen being tested is susceptible to the drug of choice.Review the links:Rao, S.
