Fluconazole susceptibility of Candida species in Singapore by disc diffusion test.
INTRODUCTION Resistance of Candida species to fluconazole has been increasingly reported worldwide. To date, the prevalence of resistance to fluconazole in Singapore is unknown. The aim of this study was to use a newly described agar disc diffusion method to study levels of susceptibility of Candida species to fluconazole in several hospitals in Singapore. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred ...
متن کاملAgar dilution method for susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The antibiotic susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates obtained from patients attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases in Tucumán, Argentina, were determined by the agar dilution method (MIC). 3.5% of the isolates produced beta-lactamase. A total of 96.5% of beta-lactamase negative isolates tested were susceptible to penicillin (MIC < or = 2 micrograms/ml-1); 14.03% of th...
متن کاملCorrelation of netilmicin disk diffusion susceptibility and agar dilution susceptibility.
The minimal inhibitory concentration of netilmicin determined by the agar dilution method was correlated with the disk diffusion zone of inhibition against 322 clinical isolates. Regression line analysis revealed good correlation, r = -0.90, and suggested that isolates with zone sizes </=14 mm should be considered resistant.
متن کاملComparison of Broth Dilution and Disc Diffusion Method for the Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Aspergillus flavus
With the discovery of newer antifungal agents, emergence of resistance among Aspergillus, is a major problem. In the present study, 25 different clinical isolates of Aspergillus flavus were screened for their susceptibility against five common antifungal agents by broth dilution and disc diffusion method with the aim to evaluate both the methods for their suitability to adapt in clinical labora...
متن کاملDetection with Agar Dilution Susceptibility Testing
A dye reduction method for determining a definitive endpoint with agar dilution susceptibility testing has been developed. Bacterial growth was determined by applying to the inoculum spot a dye solution containing 2-(p-iodophenyl)-3-(pnitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium chloride and phenazine methosulfate. Viable colonies reduced the tetrazolium salt to a visible red color within 3 to 5 min. The m...
