An ATB test, or Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, is a laboratory procedure used to determine the effectiveness of antibiotics against specific bacteria. By exposing bacterial isolates to various antibiotics, the test helps identify which drugs can effectively inhibit or kill the bacteria. This information is crucial for guiding appropriate antibiotic therapy and managing infections. It is commonly performed in clinical microbiology labs to optimize treatment strategies for patients with bacterial infections.
