Microbiology and ATB centre

Clinical microbiology and ATB centre focuses on susceptibility testing of bacteria , yeasts and fungi qualitatively ( disk diffusion method) and quantitatively (determination of MIC dilution micromethod and semiquantitative method - E - test), surveys of broad-spectrum of betalactamases including ESBLs, screening for resistance to oxacillin and glycopeptides in staphylococci and enterococci (MRSA and VRE), monitoring of other important fenotypes of resistance, consultation of antibiotic and antifungal therapy by phone or bedside, the release of bound antibiotics, active cooperation with the hospital pharmacy and health officer, processing yearly resistance summaries for each of the clinics and for the hospital as a whole, participation in hospital committee for nosocomial infections, monitoring of bacterial resistance observed for overviews in CR (NRL for antibiotics SZU ) and the EU (EARSS ), testing of new antibiotics.
