As culture with antibiotic sensitivities is not routinely performed when a " H . pylori " infection is diagnosed, it is generally recommended that different antibiotics be given at higher doses for 14 days.

Widespread use of fluoroquinolones as a first-line antibiotic has led to decreased antibiotic sensitivity, with negative implications for serious bacterial infections such as those associated with cystic fibrosis, where quinolones are among the few viable antibiotics.

Often clinical specimens are sent to the clinical laboratory for "'culture and sensitivity "'( "'C & S "'), which is culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing offered as one combined service.

After the identification of " B . burgdorferi " as the causative agent of Lyme disease, antibiotics were selected for testing, guided by " in vitro " antibiotic sensitivities, including tetracycline antibiotics, amoxicillin, cefuroxime axetil, intravenous and intramuscular penicillin and intravenous ceftriaxone.

Her studies have concerned investigating the role of surface tension depressants in immunological systems, the first complement fixation with a bacteria-free virus, the first report of wound botulism, geotrichum mycemia, nasal carriage of Clostridium tetani, antibiotic cure of rhinoscleroma, antibiotic sensitivity testing of Coccidiodes immitis, and electron microscope studies of Peptococci.

It also served a purpose in the laboratory to determine the antibiotic sensitivity of " Staphylococcus aureus " to other penicillins facing ?-lactam resistance; this role has now been passed on to other penicillins, namely " cloxacillin ", as well as genetic testing for the presence of " mecA " gene by " PCR ".
