Is the order in which antibiotics are listed in the antibiogram random, or is it given from the most effective to the least effective?

The order in which antibiotics are listed in the antibiogram is not accidental. An antibiogram is a microbiological test to determine which antibiotics bacteria are resistant to and which are susceptible to. The results of the antibiogram allow you to determine which antibiotic is most effective in treating the strain of bacteria that is responsible for the infection. Therefore, the antibiogram gives antibiotics from the most effective to the least effective to enable the selection of the appropriate treatment.
