Sample of a Microbiology Report. A typical microbiology report is represented here. Metadata about the specimen taken are described first. There are two sections here: ‘Culture Results’ and ‘Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Results.’ The organisms listed in both are linked by numbers because the same genus and species may be isolated more than once. Susceptibilities may appear in the ‘Culture Results’ section with the organism name, in the same section in a ‘comments’ subsection as depicted above, or in a matrix in the ‘Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Results’ section as depicted above.
