Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium fortuitum complex.
A total of 24 strains of the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex were tested for susceptibility to antimicrobial agents by the disk diffusion and agar dilution techniques. By comparing zones of inhibition obtained with the disk diffusion technique with results of minimal inhibitory concentration determinations, it was shown that disk diffusion results could predict in vitro susceptibility to select...
متن کاملMolecular Identification and Conventional Susceptibility Testing of Iranian Clinical Mycobacterium fortuitum Isolates
Objective(s) Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are capable of producing diseases in humans. Since mycobacteria vary in their susceptibility, precise identification is critical for adoption of correct drug therapy. The main aim of this study was molecular identification and evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Iranian clinically isolated Myocbacterium fortuitum. Materials and...
متن کاملMultisite reproducibility of Etest for susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium chelonae, and Mycobacterium fortuitum.
A multicenter study was conducted to assess the inter- and intralaboratory reproducibility of the Etest for susceptibility testing of the rapidly growing mycobacteria. The accuracy also was evaluated by comparing Etest results to those obtained by broth microdilution. Ten isolates (four of the Mycobacterium fortuitum group, three of Mycobacterium abscessus, and three of Mycobacterium chelonae) ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of five subgroups of Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonae.
Broth microdilution MICs were determined for 258 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium fortuitum (3 biovariants) and M. chelonae (2 subspecies) with amikacin, tobramycin, cefoxitin, doxycycline, erythromycin, and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and with several new beta-lactams and aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin. Variations in susceptibility by and within species subgroups confirm the need for su...
متن کاملDisk diffusion testing of susceptibility of Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonei to antibacterial agents.
Although recent studies have suggested that some antibacterial agents have good activity against the rapidly growing mycobacteria Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonei, an easily applicable method for susceptibility testing of clinical isolates is not yet available. We evaluated a disk diffusion method with Mueller-Hinton agar and 48-h readings with 59 strains of M. fortuitum and 1...
