Antimicrobial susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae.
Selected clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae were tested for their susceptibility to seven antibiotics by a microtiter broth dilution and an agar diffusion method. Eleven of 40 strains tested were resistant to ampicillin, the drug of choice, by both methods. All the strains tested were susceptible to chloramphenicol, and all but one were susceptible to tetracycline. Of the other four an...
متن کاملMicrodilution technique for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.
A microdilution technique using commercially available media and materials was developed and used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of clindamycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, minocycline, ampicillin, carbenicillin, cephalothin, and gentamicin for 101 anaerobic isolates. Representative strains of Bacteroides, Clostridium, Fusobacterium, Peptococcus, and Peptostreptoco...
متن کاملUse of Haemophilus test medium for broth microdilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
A recently described medium (Haemophilus test medium [HTM]) for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae was evaluated in this study for broth microdilution testing of Streptococcus pneumoniae. A total of 137 clinical isolates was tested against 11 antimicrobial agents, using Mueller-Hinton broth supplemented with 3% lysed horse blood in parallel with HTM. Inocula of 5 X 1...
متن کاملSusceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae to clarithromycin.
Susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae to the macrolide compounds has often been problematic. This is as a result of the inability of many isolates of H. influenzae to grow without the addition of 5% CO2 to the incubation atmosphere and the subsequent detrimental effect that CO2 has on the activity of the macrolide group of compounds. This report describes refinements and recommendati...
متن کاملRapid method for determining antimicrobial susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae.
A method was developed to determine the susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae to ampicillin, cefamandole, and chloramphenicol by using the MS-2 system (Abbott Laboratories) for determining minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). The MS-2 results for 132 strains of H. influenzae were compared with the results of agar disk diffusion, agar dilution, and beta-lactamase tests. Twenty-four strain...
