You can't test it on human, but you can make a bacterial culture in a petri dish and put some sponge disk that contains different antibiotics and see which one works the best.
There is other techniques but all you get is an "antibiogram" that gives you a list of antibiotic with the effectiveness for the specific bacteria.
