What is an Antibiogram

Mia Barnes, PharmD, BPCPS, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Infectious Diseases, Howard University College of Pharmacy discusses what is an antibiogram—an aggregate summary of susceptibility data at an institution which gives clinicians a birds eye view of resistant patterns at an institution. DC Health collaborates with the healthcare community in the city through the DC Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) committee that makes recommendations to DC Government and its external healthcare stakeholders to help all types of healthcare facilities to provide the best possible quality of care in the District by ultimately eliminating HAIs.
