Future MicrobiologyBiology Antibiotic resistance is usually primarily considered at the level of individual bacterial species. However, it may be desirable to summarize observed susceptibilities across a number of pathogens, focusing instead on a specific sample type (such as blood cultures) as representing a certain type of infection (bacteremia or bloodstream infection).
