Temocillin disc diffusion susceptibility testing by EUCAST methodology.
Sir, Temocillin is a semi-synthetic b-lactam antibiotic which is the 6-a-methoxy derivative of ticarcillin. It is a narrow-spectrum agent and its activity is almost exclusively limited to the Enterobacteriaceae—it is not effective against Gram-positive organisms, anaerobes or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As temocillin is highly stable against hydrolysis by b-lactamases, including extendedspectrum an...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing by the disc diffusion method is discussed with emphasis on the need for standardization of methodology. The KirbyBauer method is currently widely used by clinical laboratories and best incor porates many of the features recommended by the World Health Organization. It is relatively simple from a technicological standpoint and accurate and reproducible so lo...
متن کاملReliability of Disk Diffusion Test Results for the Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Nosocomial Gram-positive Microorganisms: Is E-test Method Better?
Disk diffusion test is the usual applicable method for assessing the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in most institutions and hospitals. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of resistant-reported results of disk diffusion test for 6 routinely used antibiotics against Gram-positive microorganisms of nosocomial origin, using E-test method. Over a 1-year period, clinic...

متن کاملHelicobacter pylori susceptibility testing by disc diffusion.
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori is found in c. 40% of the population and is responsible for the development of duodenal disease. Triple treatment with a proton-pump inhibitor or bismuth salt plus two antibiotics is now commonplace in all patients diagnosed. As antibiotic resistance reduces treatment efficacy, it is time to consider routine susceptibility testing to guide individual patient tr...
