Lab & Microbiology Acronyms & Antibiograms | Nevada Antimicrobial Stewardship Program Series
Overview
The Microbiology of Antimicrobial Stewardship: Organisms, Acronyms, and Methods | Julia Kiehlbauch, Ph.D., D(ABMM), Microbiology Representative to the Nevada ASP Board
Part one of this presentation discusses the organisms now commonly associated with antimicrobial resistance. The presentation reviews both new organisms and mechanisms of resistance. It reviews the methodology involved with the detection of antimicrobial resistance and explains some of the acronyms associated with antimicrobial resistance. Lastly, the presentation discusses the impact that antimicrobial resistance may have on patient care and infection control.
Antibiogram | Zuwen Qiu-Shultz, MPH, CPH, Senior Epidemiologist, Southern Nevada Health District
Part two of this presentation addresses what antibiogram is, why we need antibiogram, and how antibiogram is created.
