While general susceptibility patterns can be identified from a hospital antibiogram&#44; details on the MIC distributions of organisms are frequently absent&#46;</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">True antibiotic MIC testing is uncommonly conducted by most microbiology laboratories because it is more labor intensive and costly than automated &#40;Vitek II&#8482;&#44;

which is synonymous with MIC testing but over only a small range of dilutions around the susceptibility and resistance breakpoints&#46; For example&#44; if an antibiotic&#39;s susceptibility and resistance breakpoints are &#8804;8<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg&#47;L and &#8805;32<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg&#47;L&#44;
