Abstract
- Routinely reporting minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values to clinicians remains controversial. We surveyed clinicians to assess their knowledge and usage of MIC in clinical scenarios. The majority of respondents used MIC values to select antibiotic therapy, with a tendency to use those antibiotics with lower MICs, regardless of clinical appropriateness.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest The authors declare no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia.
