[Tips and requests by microbiologists]
Abstract
Useful results of microbiological examinations can only be expected, when the specimens submitted to the laboratory are taken correctly. This overview shows appropriate and inappropriate specimens. Hints are given for a 'calculated antimicrobial chemotherapy'. A brief outline shows which bacteria should be tested for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents due to variable sensitivity.
