SUSCEPTIBILITY TEST [25 records]

Record 1 2023-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
  • Wood Industries
DEF

A test conducted out-of-doors on pieces of timber in contact with the ground, to determine their durability.

CONT

While most species of timber are susceptible to termite attack, the degree of susceptibility varies. Usually the durability of timbers against termites is assessed by what is known as the "graveyard test" in which stakes of standard dimension, of different species of timber, are arranged vertically in soil in a termite-infested site, with the top of the stakes protruding above ground like the headstones in a graveyard, and assessing the damage at intervals. Based on this, timbers are rated as susceptible, moderately resistant, and highly resistant.

OBS

Preservatives may be added to the timber or to the soil.

Since periodontal infections are generally mixed anaerobic and facultative anaerobic infection, identifying the causative organisms in the subgingival flora and determining their antimicrobial susceptibility is helpful in selecting the proper antimicrobial therapy.

Record 3 2023-03-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bioengineering
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
CONT

The goal of antimicrobial susceptibility testing is to predict the in vivo success or failure of antibiotic therapy. Tests are performed in vitro, and measure the growth response of an isolated organism to a particular drug or drugs. The tests are performed under standardized conditions so that the results are reproducible. The test results should be used to guide antibiotic choice. The results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing should be combined with clinical information and experience when selecting the most appropriate antibiotic for your patient.

CONT

The emergence and dissemination of resistance has made it imperative for laboratories to use in vitro tests that can detect resistance. The concept of antimicrobial resistance testing (ART) should replace antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). ART requires flexibility in testing systems and current AST methods are often handicapped. This is due to an over emphasis on standardization, not accounting for the diversity and complexity of resistance mechanisms.

The nervous shock cases raise... the question whether a person's peculiar susceptibility to injury entitles him to special regard in the exercise of care from others.
