Cefotiam susceptibility testing criteria.
Interpretive zone size breakpoints for diffusion tests with 30-micrograms cefotiam disks are diameters of greater than or equal to 18 mm for susceptible and less than or equal to 14 mm for resistant strains. The standard control strains Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 should both give zones 27 to 33 mm in diameter. Tests with 579 clinical isolates yielded an una...
متن کاملInterpretive criteria for testing susceptibility of staphylococci to mupirocin.
To determine appropriate mupirocin susceptibility testing interpretive criteria, 177 staphylococci were tested by agar dilution, disk diffusion, and E test. E test was found to be a reliable method for determining susceptibility of staphylococci to mupirocin. The agar dilution and disk diffusion results were plotted on a scattergram, and error rates were calculated. No errors were found with su...
متن کاملPlacental transfer of cefotiam dihydrochloride.
The concentrations of cefotiam dihydrochloride (CTM) in maternal and fetal blood and in amniotic fluid were determined by bioassay in 38 women at parturition. With an intravenous infusion of 1 g of CTM, the decline in concentration of CTM in maternal blood was biphasic; CTM was not detectable at 6 h after administration. Peak levels of CTM in umbilical cord blood (13.0 to 23.9 micrograms/ml) w...
متن کاملHigh-performance liquid chromatographic assay for cefotiam and d3-cefotiam in human serum.
Cefotiam is a second-generation cephalosporin for parenteral use, and the active moiety of a recently developed ester of cefotiam for oral administration, cefotiam hexetil. In vitro, cefotiam hexetil is partially hydrolysed to the inactive d3-isomer of cefotiam (Fig. 1) [ 11, and to a minor extent d3-cefotiam has also been detected in serum [ 2,3]. This paper describes a high-performance liquid...
متن کاملInterpretive criteria and quality control limits for testing susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to enoxacin.
For testing the susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to enoxacin, a proposed susceptibility category includes strains for which MICs are less than or equal to 0.5 micrograms/ml and zones of inhibition are greater than or equal to 32 mm in diameter. Because of the sparcity of resistant gonococci, a resistance category was not defined, but laboratory-selected resistant mutants were appropriate...
