Comparison of teicoplanin disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis
The CLSI M100-S19 document has recommended the disuse of vancomycin disks for staphylococci and informed that studies on the action of teicoplanin in disk-diffusion testing should be performed. We describe the comparison of two methods, disk diffusion and broth microdilution, for determining teicoplanin susceptibility in clinical isolates of staphylococci. Overall results showed an aggregation ...
متن کاملActivities of amphotericin B, fluconazole and voriconazole against Candida bloodstream isolates determined by broth microdilution and disk diffusion methods
Objective: Invasive fungal infections caused by Candida species have increased significantly. Candidemia is not only associated with a mortality, but also extends the duration of hospital stay and increases the cost for medical care. Although, the clinical presentations of the patients with candidemia caused by Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida species are indistinguishable, the suscept...
متن کاملDetection Of Methicillin Resistance In Staphylococcus Aureus By Disk Diffusion And PCR Methods
Background and Objective: Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is an increasingly important clinical problem. A chromosomal gene, mecA, mediates resistance to penicillinase-resistant penicillins such as methicillin and oxacillin in Staphylococcus aureus. We evaluated the validity of disk diffusion test by using oxacillin, methicillin an...
متن کاملComparison of Disc Diffusion, Broth Microdilution and Modified Hodge Test Susceptibility Testing Of Escherichia coli Isolates to Beta-Lactam Antibiotics
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: One of the main tasks of clinical microbiology laboratories is to determine antibiotic resistance profiles in common pathogens and ensure the selection of effective antibiotics for certain infections. The aim of this study was to compare the methods of disk diffusion, broth microdilution and modified Hodge test i...
