Something to Think About<br />

• The <strong>MIC</strong> is only one piece of information that is<br />

useful in deciding if an antibiotic is going to be<br />

successful in treating an infection.<br />

• There will never be a single breakpoint that will<br />

predict susceptibility or resistance to a drug for<br />

all patients, at all sites of infection, and under all<br />

conditions based on the <strong>MIC</strong><br />
