This is an experimental tool based on these popular antibiotic sensitivity tables. Its purpose is to allow more efficient browsing of generalized antibiotic sensitivities. This is not a list of first line, second line, third line treatments for specific infections.

 

Of course, antibiotic resistance patterns vary regionally and treatment should be individualized based on many patient factors including exposures, presentation of the illness, test results, culture results, drug interactions, allergies, past medical history and patient response.
