An ATB test, or Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, is a laboratory procedure used to determine the effectiveness of specific antibiotics against bacteria isolated from a patient. This test helps guide clinicians in selecting the appropriate antibiotic treatment for infections, ensuring that the chosen medication will effectively combat the specific bacterial strain. The results can also provide insights into antibiotic resistance patterns within the community or hospital setting.
