Abstract
Inadequate empirical antibiotic therapy and delayed target therapy have been demonstrated to be significantly associated with higher mortality.Because microbiological results based on the traditional culture and identification require quite a long time,empirical broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy is often initiated according to the clinical presentation,which may resulting in the development of antimicrobial resistance.One of the strategies to alter the dilemma situation is that the initial empirical therapy is adjusted to definitive therapy as early as possible,which can only be done on the basis of rapid microbiological reports.Clinical microbiology laboratories should integrate a variety of rapid detection methods,improve working process,present reports as soon as possible,and bear fast-responsibility.(Chin J Lab Med,2013,36:32-35) Key words: Microbial sensitivity tests; Laboratories; hospital; Time factors
