Susceptibility (suscept.)
Definition in words |
A lower threshold kind-of-quantity value of component B compared with a threshold kind-of-quantity value of component B in a reference system Note 1: Component B can be an organism or proces Note 2: Threshold kind-of-quantity can be e.g. threshold mass concentration or threshold substance concentration |

Special rule(s) in the NPU syntax |
“Procedure” is stated in the specification to the kind-of-property in the NPU definition. “Procedure” indicates that the measurement procedure must be stated somewhere else than the NPU code and there may be difficulties in comparing values for the same NPU code. |

Example 1 | |
Generic abbreviated form | NPU06001 Syst—Amoxicillin; suscept. = ? | |
Full form with a result | NPU06001 System—Amoxicillin; susceptibility = normal | |
Abbreviated form with a result | NPU06001 Syst—Amoxicillin; suscept. = normal | |
Written expression | The susceptibility of Amoxicillin in Mr. Smith’s System is [normal]. The measurement is performed according to procedure defined by the laboratory. | |

Generic abbreviated form | NPU27208 Tumor cell culture(Sarcoma)—Doxorubicin; suscept.(ord.sc.; proc.) = ? | |
Full form with a result | NPU27208 Tumor cell culture(Sarcoma)—Doxorubicin; susceptibility(ordinal scale; procedure) = Low | |
Abbreviated form with a result | NPU27208 Tumor cell culture(Sarcoma)—Doxorubicin; suscept.(ord.sc.; proc.) = Low | |
Written expression | The susceptibility of Tumor cell culture from Mrs. Smith’s Sarcoma to Doxorubicin is [Low]. The measurement is performed according to procedure defined by the laboratory. The value set is on an ordinal scale defined by the laboratory. | |
Example 4 |

Full form with a result | NPU27251 Tumor cell culture(Melanoma)—Cisplatin; suscept.(ordinal scale; procedure) = 4 | |
Abbreviated form with a result | NPU27251 Tumor cell culture(Melanoma)—Cisplatin; suscept.(ord.sc.; proc.) = 4 | |
Written expression | The susceptibility of Tumor cell culture from Mrs. Smith’s Sarcoma to Cisplatin is [4]. The measurement is performed according to procedure defined by the laboratory. The value set is on an ordinal scale defined by the laboratory. | |

Susceptibility is a concept with a value in one end on an ordinal threshold scale. Resistance is a concept with a value on the opposite end on the same scale. Resistance would be defined: “A higher threshold kind-of-quantity value of component B compared with a threshold kind-of-quantity value of component B in a reference system“ |
