Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance can be measured in the laboratory and can be suggested clinically in bacterial infections that fail to respond to antimicrobial therapy. A discussion of in vivo factors contributing to antimicrobial resistance is beyond the scope of this paper; however, a brief review of in vitro determination of antimicrobial resistance will be covered.
