Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing on Milk Samples
The number of antimicrobial agents that can be applied in a routine test is limited. To make testing relevant and practical, it makes sense to include those antibiotics for which commercial preparations are available on the market. In most antibiotic groups, representative molecules can be selected with the same spectrum of activity and full cross-resistance. This approach can deliver reliable ...
متن کاملComparison of direct antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods for rapid analysis of bronchial secretion samples in ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Two hundred and fifty tracheal aspirates were subjected to direct antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk diffusion, Etest and inoculation on antibiotic-enriched MacConkey agar plates. Results were compared with those obtained using an automated system on microorganisms recovered from standard quantitative culture. A total of 255 microorganisms were isolated from 194 positive samples by th...
متن کاملEvaluation of a modified direct agar proportion method for testing susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from MGIT samples.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The emergence of resistance to anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs has become an obstacle to effective TB control. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify patients and initiate adequate treatment for drug-resistant cases in a timely manner. The BACTEC MGIT 960 system is well known for its rapid culturing time, and is in widespread use in Taiwan. In this study, we evaluated the pos...
متن کاملAutomated direct antimicrobial susceptibility testing of microscopically screened urine cultures.
Two screening methods for urine microbiology are proposed: one in which the Gram-stained smear is used to detect significant bacteriuria, and another in which Autobac antibiotic susceptibility tests are performed directly on positive urine samples. Results on 1,350 specimens indicated that an average of 18 bacteria per oil immersion field were observed in the urine of patients with significant ...
