Caspofungin disk diffusion breakpoints and quality control.
Interpretive disk diffusion breakpoints for caspofungin are proposed by evaluating 762 isolates of Candida spp., representing 10 different species obtained as part of the caspofungin clinical trials. Standardized broth microdilution reference tests were compared to the zone diameters observed with 5-microg caspofungin disks produced by two different disk manufacturers. Disk diffusion breakpoint...
متن کاملSetting interpretive breakpoints for antimicrobial susceptibility testing using disk diffusion.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing plays a key role in clinical microbiology. The disk diffusion test dates back to the 1940s and became standardised from the 1950s, with the International Collaborative Study (ICS) and National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) as the two major standards. Interlaboratory variation of disk test results was recognised early but has never been ...
متن کاملReevaluation of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute disk diffusion breakpoints for tetracyclines for testing Enterobacteriaceae.
We reevaluated Enterobacteriaceae disk diffusion breakpoints for the tetracyclines published in the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document M100-S16, which were (susceptible/resistant) >or=19 mm/or=16 mm/or=19 mm/<or=14 mm for minocycline. A collection of 504 recent clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were test...
متن کاملTigecycline disk diffusion breakpoints of Acinetobacter spp.: a clinical point of view.
In the January 2007 issue of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Jones et al. reported a multicenter study of the tigecycline disk diffusion breakpoints of Acinetobacter spp., including multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. The authors concluded that a breakpoint zone diameter of 16/ 12 mm to define susceptibility/resistance, respectively, instead of those proposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Admi...
متن کاملMIC quality control guidelines and disk diffusion test optimization for CEM-101, a novel fluoroketolide.
The development of diagnostic susceptibility tests for CEM-101, a new fluoroketolide, was addressed by structured studies to determine the optimal disk diffusion test concentration and effects of various testing conditions or supplements and to establish the quality control (QC) ranges for reference broth microdilution tests. The 15-microg CEM-101 disk was selected, and MIC ranges for a total o...
