1.

COMPLAINT:

TESTS ADVISED:

•Specimen was taken for culture and AST

LABORATORY REPORT:

CONCLUSION

On basis of the laboratory data provided the pathogen causing infection is Staphylococcus aureus.

TREATMENT

Penicillin derived antibiotics (oxacillin or flucloxacillin) are the preferred choice of preliminary treatment. If the bacterial infetion is resistant against these antibiotics then combination therapy with gentamycin or vancomycin is recommended.

2. Further laboratory testing is not required in this case. But by culture test identification of antibiotics to which the pathogen is susceptible and resistant against are necessary prior to prescription of medical treatment (since the name of antibiotic against which the pathogen is resistant is not mentioned in the laboratory data).
