Multiple combination bactericidal testing of staphylococcal biofilms from implant-associated infections.
Standardized susceptibility testing fails to predict in vivo resistance of device-related infections to antimicrobials. We assessed agents and combinations of antimicrobials against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. aureus (methicillin-resistant S. aureus and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus) retrieved from device-associated infections. Isolates were grown planktonically and...
متن کاملTargeted Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Lung Transplantation in Cystic Fibrosis Patients Colonised with Pseudomonas aeruginosa Using Multiple Combination Bactericidal Testing
Early infection is a recognised complication after lung transplantation in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Our centre uses multiple combination bactericidal testing (MCBT) when determining appropriate peritransplant prophylactic regimens. To evaluate our strategy, we compared the incidence of posttransplant infection in patients whose peritransplant antimicrobial regimens were determined us...
متن کاملPartial Knowledge in Multiple-Choice Testing
The intent of this study was to discover the nature of (partial) knowledge as estimated by the multiple-choice (MC) test method. An MC test of vocabulary, including 20 items, was given to 10 participants. Each examinee was required to think aloud while focusing on each item before and while making a response. After each test taker was done with each item, s/he was ...
متن کاملSerum bactericidal testing with the Autobac system.
Current methodology for the serum bactericidal test requires a minimum of 48 h. A procedure was devised for performing this test with the Autobac system (General Diagnostics, Div. Organon Inc., Raleigh, N.C.) in a shortened time span. All titers obtained with the Autobac were compared against results obtained with a standardized tube dilution procedure. The Autobac low-thymidine eugonic broth p...
متن کاملTesting of Insoluble Drugs and Oils for Their Bactericidal Properties
et al. (1948) used 3 per cent ethyl-alcohol for dissolving the insoluble drugs before adding to their synthetic media. With both the above methods the drug does get uniformly distributed in the media but gets ultimately precipitated if it is highly insoluble. The drugs reported in this paper are mostly insoluble in water beyond a dilution of 1 in 10,000 and are soluble in alcohol in a minimum o...
