Bacterial clonal diagnostics as a tool for evidence-based empiric antibiotic selection.

Bacterial clonal diagnostics as a tool for evidence-based empiric antibiotic selection.

Despite the known clonal distribution of antibiotic resistance in many bacteria, empiric (pre-culture) antibiotic selection still relies heavily on species-level cumulative antibiograms, resulting in overuse of broad-spectrum agents and excessive antibiotic/pathogen mismatch.
