The preceding chart does not account for the fact that these organisms may cause a range of disease
from UTI or mild skin infections to life-threatening sepsis and meningitis. It also does not account for local
resistance patterns, cost-effectiveness, or what drugs may be available. Microbiology support to identify
organisms and produce susceptibility results greatly increases the success of antibiotic therapy
