Abstract
A computer program has been developed on an IBM-PC-compatible microcomputer to analyze antimicrobial susceptibility results of large numbers of organisms tested against a variety of antimicrobial agents. For each species, the output includes the numbers, percentages, cumulative numbers, and cumulative percentages of organisms inhibited at different concentrations of each drug, the MICs for 50 and 90% of organisms tested, MIC ranges, and geometric mean MICs. The distributions of MICs are also plotted as histograms. The program was written in dBASE III command language, but a compiled version allows rapid program execution independently of the dBASE III package.
