Interpretive standards and quality control limits for susceptibility tests with ampicillin-sulbactam combination disks.
In vitro studies were performed to evaluate susceptibility tests with disks containing 10 micrograms of ampicillin plus 10 micrograms of sulbactam. Interpretive zone standards of less than or equal to 11 mm (resistant), 12 to 13 mm (intermediate), and greater than or equal to 14 mm (susceptible) are proposed. A nine-laboratory coordinated study was performed to establish tentative zone size lim...
متن کاملCriteria for disk susceptibility tests and quality control guidelines for the cefoperazone-sulbactam combination.
For in vitro susceptibility tests with cefoperazone and sulbactam (a beta-lactamase inhibitor), 75/30-micrograms disks may be used with the interpretive zone size breakpoints that are currently used for 75-micrograms cefoperazone disks. For dilution tests, a 2:1 ratio of cefoperazone to sulbactam is recommended. For quality control purposes, MIC limits that are used to monitor cefoperazone test...
متن کاملInterpretive standards and quality control guidelines for cefpiramide disk susceptibility tests.
Disk susceptibility tests with 30- and 75-micrograms cefpiramide disks were evaluated with 614 bacterial isolates. Quality control parameters were also evaluated, and control limits for disk tests are recommended. Tests with 75-micrograms disks are recommended, with zone size standards of greater than or equal to 19 mm for susceptible (MIC, less than or equal to 32 micrograms/ml) and less than ...
متن کاملQuality control limits for ampicillin, carbenicillin, mezlocillin, and piperacillin disk diffusion susceptibility tests: a collaborative study.
A multilaboratory in vitro study was carried out to determine disk diffusion susceptibility testing quality control limits for two new semisynthetic penicillins, mezlocillin and piperacillin. Existing limits for carbenicillin and ampicillin were reevaluated. Multiple tests (which followed standards set by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards ASM-2 revised) were performed in ...
متن کاملTentative interpretive standards for disk susceptibility tests with moxalactam (LY127935).
Moxalactam (LY127935; 6059-S) is a new beta-lactam antibiotic. We propose tentative zone standards for agar diffusion susceptibility tests with 30-microgram disks. The final selection of minimal inhibitory concentration breakpoints for definition of resistant and susceptible categories must await clinical experience with this drug. Some of the clinical questions to be answered are defined. A mo...
