The Emergency Medicine and First Aid Techniques Department held a special discussion session on testing bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics, featuring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecturer. Salam Abbas Aliwi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session included a comprehensive introduction about what bacteria are, along with an overview of antibiotics, which are used to treat bacterial infections by killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It emphasized the complex relationship between these two entities and how improper or excessive use of antibiotics leads to the development of antibiotic resistance, a global phenomenon that poses a serious threat to public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion then transitioned to the practical aspect, which is sensitivity testing. The practical steps reviewed included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Culturing bacteria<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Placing small discs saturated with different concentrations of antibiotics on the culture plate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Identifying the inhibition zone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Measuring and evaluating to determine whether the bacteria are sensitive or resistant to the tested antibiotic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion concluded that antibiotic sensitivity testing is a cornerstone in prescribing safe bacterial treatment, stressing the necessity of regularly conducting this test to ensure the effectiveness of treatments and to contribute to combating the growing phenomenon of resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
