Résistance aux antibiotiques des bactéries impliquées dans les infections de l’enfant : il y a résistance et résistance !

Summary: Isolation of a bacterial strain at the infectious site and determination of the suceptibility profile may help to guide approriate antibiotic treatment. However technical difficulties justify interpretative reading to recognize interferring resistance mechanisms from resistance phenotypes. The aim of this article is to give some examples showing interpretative reading of routine sensitivity test data. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
