Abstract:
In order to prevent the use of antibiotics from the errors, it should test the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics for some causative strains of microbe. From which to determine the MIC 90 of antibiotics for antibiotic resistance or sensitivity strains. A study evaluated the sensitivity and resistance of 23 strains of S. Pneumoniae, 34 strains of staphylococcus, 15 strains of H. influenzae, and 24 strains of M. catarrhalis for penicilline and chloramphenicol which are two antibiotics had a high rate of resistance by microbials causing the respiratory tract infections. The MIC90 of these 2 antibiotics for the above strains was higher 2-8 times than MIC.
