  2. List of antibiotics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antibiotics

    The following is a list of antibiotics. The highest division between antibiotics is bactericidal and bacteriostatic. Bactericidals kill bacteria directly, whereas bacteriostatics prevent them from dividing. However, these classifications are based on laboratory behavior.

  3. European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Committee_on...

    European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) is a scientific committee for defining guidelines to interpret antimicrobial resistance. [1] It was formed in 1997 and is jointly organized by ESCMID, ECDC and other European laboratories.

  4. EARS-Net - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EARS-Net

    Around 80% of the participants utilize the EUCAST standard for detection of antibiotic resistance. [1] EARS-Net was established in 1998 as EARSS, funded by the European Commission's Directorate General for Health and Consumer Affairs and the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports. [ 1 ]

  5. Minimum inhibitory concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_inhibitory...

    These grades are assigned based on agreed upon values called breakpoints. Breakpoints are published by standards development organizations such as the U.S. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC) and the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST).

  6. Antibiotic sensitivity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_sensitivity_testing

    The MIC is compared to standard threshold values (called "breakpoints") for a given bacterium and antibiotic. [28] Breakpoints for the same organism and antibiotic may differ based on the site of infection: [29] for example, the CLSI generally defines Streptococcus pneumoniae as sensitive to intravenous penicillin if MICs are ≤0.06 μg/ml ...

  7. List of β-lactam antibiotics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_β-lactam_antibiotics

    This is a list of common β-lactam antibiotics—both administered drugs and those not in clinical use—organized by structural class. Antibiotics are listed alphabetically within their class or subclass by their nonproprietary name. If an antibiotic is a combination drug, both ingredients will be listed.

  8. Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancomycin-resistant...

    Resistant or "R" designations are assigned based on agreed upon values called breakpoints. Breakpoints are published by standards development organizations such as the U.S. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy and the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing.

  9. Antimicrobial spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_spectrum

    Narrow-spectrum antibiotics have low propensity to induce bacterial resistance and are less likely to disrupt the microbiome (normal microflora). [3] On the other hand, indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics may not only induce the development of bacterial resistance and promote the emergency of multidrug-resistant organisms, but also cause off-target effects due to dysbiosis.
