Disc agar diffusion antimicrobial susceptibility tests with .BETA.-lactamase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Ophthalmia neonatorum caused by beta-lactamase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Intracranial section of the glossopharyngeal and upper roots of the vagus nerves has been recommended, the cardiac dysrhythmia being controlled with atropine, isoprenaline, or transvenous pacemaker. Carbamazepine is known to relieve the pain of uncomplicated glossopharyngeal neuralgia.2 In our first patient the combination of carbamazepine and demand pacemaker abolished both pain and syncope wi...

Antibiotic disk susceptibility tests with Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

We have used a standardized disk diffusion procedure to test the susceptibility of 892 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to six antibiotics. The disk diffusion test described is a modification of the disk test of Bauer, Kirby, Sherris, and Turck, which is widely used for susceptibility testing of fast-growing, aerobic pathogens. With all six antibiotics (penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, er...

Agar Gradient Diffusion Susceptibility Testing for Neisseria gonorrhoeae: A Reliable Alternative to Agar Dilution?

Comparison of disc diffusion results with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE objectives: As antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae provides guidance for appropriate treatment, there is a need for simple, reliable and cost-effective method for susceptibility testing. The present study was aimed to compare the results of two methods of susceptibility testing, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values by E test with disc di...

Comparison of Two Disc Diffusion Methods with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae Isolates

BACKGROUND A few studies are available comparing either minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) disc diffusion method or MIC with the Australian Gonococcal Surveillance Program (AGSP) method. AIM This study was conducted with the aim to identify the most feasible and cost-effective method for antimicrobial susceptibility testin...
