Individual Test
This procedure is called a serum cidal level, a serum bactericidal titer, or a Schlichter test. This test cannot be performed without a bacterial organism that has been previously isolated from the same patient. The killing power of the patient's serum against the isolated pathogen is measured. Blood is usually drawn and tested at peak and trough level of the antibiotic.
