Thank you to Madelaine Binner, MAAPC member and Oncology NP at AAMC for sharing this antibiogram with MAAPC members.

The hospital antibiogram is a periodic summary of antimicrobial susceptibilities of local bacterial isolates submitted to the hospital's clinical microbiology laboratory. Antibiograms are often used by clinicians to assess local susceptibility rates, as an aid in selecting empiric antibiotic therapy, and in monitoring resistance trends over time within an institution (Joshi, S, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20966554).
