Hello .!
This is a Drug sensitivity report following a culture of a substance...
If a particular drug is termed as sensitive , it means that drug can destroy the specific organism.. resistant for certain drugs indicate the drug has no effect for the drug.
This result shows only that some organism is susceptible to some and resistant to some.. so the doctor will choose a drug from the sensitive category..

thanks..
