Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing (AST) for SENAITEAboutThis add-on enables Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing (AST) forSENAITE LIMSby
allowing the user to add analyses to a sample that are specifically designed for
the measurement of the susceptibility of microorganisms to antibiotics. These
analyses can be added either by means of pre-defined AST Panels or by direct
assignment of Antibiotics and Microorganisms through a matrix.senaite.astalso incorporates a default analysis for the identification of
microorganisms present in a given sample. Once microorganisms are identified by
means of this identification analysis, the system automatically populates the
list of available AST Panels for selection with those that fit better with the
identified microorganism(s).Resistance analyses are qualitative and the supported results are in accordance
with thenew definitions of susceptibility testing categories by EUCAST 2019:S: Susceptible, standard dosing regimenI: Susceptible, increased exposureR: ResistantAlthough user can configure AST Panels for the automatic addition of analyses
for the capture of diameter of the zone of inhibition, the system does not
automatically calculate the qualitative results based on the diameter of zone
and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). However, system can infere
the susceptibility testing category automatically based on pre-defined
Breakpoints Tables, along with the diameter of the inhibitory zone or the MIC
value.Once installed, this add-on allows the laboratory to:Maintain microorganisms (viasenaite.microorganism)Maintain antibiotics and antibiotic classes (viasenaite.abx)Maintain pre-defined AST PanelsMaintain pre-defined Breakpoints TablesAnalysis for the identification of microorganismsAssignment of pre-defined AST Panels to a sampleSample-level customization of AST PanelSelective reporting of resistance resultsSupport for and selective reporting of extrapolated antibioticsDocumentationhttps://senaiteast.readthedocs.ioContributeWe want contributing to SENAITE.AST to be fun, enjoyable, and educational
