Thorough laboratory testing and correct interpretation of results are critical for the management of patients with pyoderma in an era of increasing antimicrobial resistance amongst pathogens. Empirically chosen systemic antibacterial therapy is increasingly hampered by the continuing spread of multidrugresistance and culture-based prescribing of antimicrobials may become compulsory prior to prescribing antimicrobials to help limit the threat from resistance (1). However, cost and perceived time delay associated with submitting samples for bacterial culture can be challenging. It is therefore important to maximise what we can gain from microbiology results for the benefit of our patients. This can be achieved through:
1. Understanding the principles of microbiology methods used in diagnostic laboratories
2. Careful interpretation of the reported results in the context of the patient’s history and clinical signs
