Evaluation of methods for testing the susceptibility of clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates to pyrazinamide.
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a first-line antituberculosis (anti-TB) drug capable of killing nonreplicating, persistent Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, reliable testing of the susceptibility of M. tuberculosis to PZA is challenging. Using 432 clinical M. tuberculosis isolates, we compared the performances of five methods for the determination of M. tuberculosis susceptibility to PZA: the MGIT 960...
متن کاملEvaluation of rapid alternative methods for drug susceptibility testing in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A study was carried out to compare the performance of a commercial method (MGIT) and four inexpensive drug susceptibility methods: nitrate reductase assay (NRA), microscopic observation drug susceptibility (MODS) assay, MTT test, and broth microdilution method (BMM). A total of 64 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were studied. The Lowenstein-Jensen proportion method (PM) was used...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of alternative methods for broth dilution susceptibility testing of fluconazole against Candida albicans.
A comparative evaluation of methods for broth macro- and microdilution susceptibility testing of fluconazole was conducted with 119 clinical isolates of Candida albicans. Macro- and microdilution testing were performed according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards recommendations. For reference macrodilution testing, an 80% inhibition endpoint (MIC 80%) was determined after ...

امروزه استفاده از منابع انرژی پراکنده کاربرد وسیعی یافته است . اگر چه این منابع بسیاری از مشکلات شبکه را حل می کنند اما زیاد شدن آنها مسائل فراوانی برای سیستم قدرت به همراه دارد . استفاده از میکروشبکه راه حلی است که علاوه بر استفاده از مزایای منابع انرژی پراکنده برخی از مشکلات ایجاد شده توسط آنها را نیز منتفی می کند . همچنین میکروشبکه ها کیفیت برق و قابلیت اطمینان تامین انرژی مشترکان را افزایش ...
15 صفحه اولEvaluation of vancomycin susceptibility testing for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: comparison of Etest and three automated testing methods.
We evaluated the ability of four commercial MIC testing systems (MicroScan, Vitek 2, Phoenix, and Etest) to detect vancomycin MIC values of ≤1 to ≥2 in 200 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains compared to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute broth microdilution (BMD) reference methods. Compared to the BMD method, absolute agreement (0 ± dilution) was highest for...
