Establishing MIC breakpoints and the interpretation of in vitro susceptibility tests.
The purpose of undertaking susceptibility testing, by whatever method, is to attempt to integrate the susceptibility of a population of potential pathogens with the pharmacokinetics of the antimicrobial and, whenever possible, to review this relationship in the light of clinical experience following therapy in clinical trials. Breakpoints are discriminatory antimicrobial concentrations used in ...
متن کاملMagnetic susceptibility as a tool for mineral exploration (Case study: Southern of Zagros Mountains)
Magnetic susceptibility has been extensively used to determine the magnetic properties of rocks for different applications, such as hydrocarbon or mineral explorations. This magnetic quantity can be directly measured in an accurate but time-consuming operation, or it can be mathematically approximated using a reliable procedure to achieve a desired accuracy. The Poisson theory is one of the mos...

متن کاملSusceptibility Testing in Animals - How Breakpoints Are Derived and Interpretation of Susceptibility Data
SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTS Antibacterial susceptibility testing is not necessary for every case in veterinary medicine because the majority of cases can be treated empirically. But performed properly, antibiotic susceptibility results are helpful to select proper antibacterial therapy for patients with refractory infections, seriously ill animals, or when resistant strains of bacteria are suspected. ...
متن کاملA new method for normalized interpretation of antimicrobial resistance from disk test results for comparative purposes.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate a calibration method for disk diffusion antibiotic susceptibility tests, using zone diameter values generated in the individual laboratory as the internal calibrator for combinations of antibiotic and bacterial species. METHODS The high-zone side of zone histogram distributions was first analyzed by moving averages to determine the peak position of the susceptible popula...
