The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is used because bacteria may have resistance to some antibiotics.
- Sensitivity testing results can allow a clinician to change the choice of antibiotics from empiric therapy, which is when an antibiotic is selected based on clinical suspicion about the site of an infection and common causative bacteria, to directed therapy, in which the choice of antibiotic is based on knowledge of the organism and its sensitivities.
- Sensitivity testing usually occurs in a medical laboratory, and uses culture methods that expose bacteria to antibiotics, or genetic methods that test to see if bacteria have genes that confer resistance.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Antibiotic sensitivity testing article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
