The role of cascade reporting integrated with breakpoint to minimum inhibitory concentration quotient (minimum inhibitory concentration therapeutic index) and minimum inhibitory concentration guiding table on clinical microbiology reporting of culture-proven bloodstream infections

The role of cascade reporting integrated with breakpoint to minimum inhibitory concentration quotient (minimum inhibitory concentration therapeutic index) and minimum inhibitory concentration guiding table on clinical microbiology reporting of culture-proven bloodstream infections

Background: The breakpoint to minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) quotient (BMQ) of an antimicrobial agent is the ratio of susceptible breakpoint divided by MIC of the test isolate. The higher the BMQ, the better is the therapeutic efficacy. The reporting of BMQ and MIC guiding table (MGT) when i...
