Question
when examining a sensitivity table, what is the most accurate definition of a resistant organism?
the pathogen cannot be killed by any drug on the list.
the pathogen is not easily killed by the patients immune system.
the pathogen is responsive to a specific drug.
the pathogen is not responsive to a specific drug.
In the context of a sensitivity table for drugs, a resistant organism refers to a pathogen that does not respond to a specific drug. It's not about inability to be killed by any drug on a list (too extreme), nor about the immune - system's ability to kill it, and responsiveness to a drug is the opposite of resistance.
