Abstract
in English, French

Reading an antibiogram, however simple it may appear at first glance, is full of sometimes implicit but valuable information in the daily practice of the physician. A more subtle reading requires knowledge in the microbiology and pharmacology fields, even more so in the presence of resistant bacteria. The aim of this article is to provide the clinician with some keys to read and understand an antibiogram in the current context.

La lecture d’un antibiogramme, aussi simple qu’elle puisse paraître au premier coup d’œil, regorge d’informations parfois implicites qui peuvent être précieuses dans la pratique quotidienne du médecin clinicien. Une lecture plus approfondie nécessite quelques connaissances de microbiologie et de pharmacologie, ce d’autant plus lorsque la bactérie est multirésistante. Cet article a pour but d’apporter quelques clés de lecture de l’antibiogramme au médecin clinicien dans ce contexte.
