It's an evaluation of how much of a given antibiotic is needed to kill or impair the growth of the microbe found in the culture. For the clinician, it gives information about which antibiotics are more likely to be helpful for a given infection.
yes, example of urine culture and sensitivity.
The sensitivity of a limit test refers to the test's ability to detect low levels of a specific substance or impurity in a sample. It indicates the minimum concentration that can be reliably identified without false negatives. A higher sensitivity means that the test can detect smaller amounts of the target substance, which is crucial for ensuring quality and safety in pharmaceuticals and other applications. In essence, sensitivity helps determine the effectiveness and reliability of the limit test in identifying potential contaminants.
The sensitivity numbers on a urine culture and sensitivity test indicate the effectiveness of different antibiotics in treating a specific bacteria found in the urine sample. It helps determine which antibiotic will be most effective in treating the infection. The higher the sensitivity number, the more effective the antibiotic is against that particular bacteria.
Culture and sensitivity test
False negatives in a voges-proskauer test would be due to poor sensitivity.
The abbreviations M, C and S in a microbiology urine test means microscopy, culture and sensitivity. The test is done to check for a urine infection.

A sensitivity test, also called antibiotic susceptibility test
No, I have not taken an EMF sensitivity test to determine my sensitivity to electromagnetic fields.
The sensitivity numbers on a urine culture and sensitivity test indicate the effectiveness of different antibiotics in treating a specific bacteria found in the urine sample. It helps determine which antibiotic will be most effective in treating the infection. The higher the sensitivity number, the more effective the antibiotic is against that particular bacteria.
Susceptible on a culture and sensitivity test means that the bacteria being tested is vulnerable to the antibiotic being used. This implies that the antibiotic is likely to be effective in treating an infection caused by that specific bacteria.
Mantoux test
The R stands for resistant and the S stands for Susceptibility. There may also be an I which means Intermediate. Your physician will prescribe the antibiotic listed with an S that is most effective in treating the organism identified.

There are quite a few different letters than can be written on a blood test request form. U&E is a term that is used to mean urine culture and sensitivity.
