Abstract
- The article focuses on the limitations of hospital antibiograms in predicting antimicrobial susceptibility for individual Enterobacteriaceae isolates, as discussed by Hasegawa et al. Topics include the technical challenges in compiling and analyzing antibiograms, the need for integrating patient-specific factors into clinical decision-making, and the potential benefits of stratified antibiograms for improving empirical therapy.
