In the present era of rising antimicrobial resistance and automation Vitek is a machine which helps to identify drug resistance and susceptible-dose dependent (SDD) to a given antibiotic where the dosage can be increased depending upon the MIC value to treat resistant bugs. Vitek is a combination of automation in sync with the latest American and European guidelines for therapeutics and also reduces the time to positivity as compared to manual cultures. Thus it assists physicians in the diagnosis and treatment options. Having the guidelines integrated in the system makes it one of the most used systems for identification and sensitivity world over by helping in quick and accurate results.
