Worked example
What does “protozoa” mean in Anti-infective Drugs?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for protozoa.
- 2The book says: unicellular organisms capable of causing parasitic infections.
- 3Do not use the meaning of antibiogram. That term means a document detailing local bacterial resistance patterns that is used to guide antibiotic choices.
Result: unicellular organisms capable of causing parasitic infections
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for protozoa.
Do not swap protozoa and antibiogram. protozoa means unicellular organisms capable of causing parasitic infections. antibiogram means a document detailing local bacterial resistance patterns that is used to guide antibiotic choices.
