Cefotiam susceptibility testing criteria.
Interpretive zone size breakpoints for diffusion tests with 30-micrograms cefotiam disks are diameters of greater than or equal to 18 mm for susceptible and less than or equal to 14 mm for resistant strains. The standard control strains Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 should both give zones 27 to 33 mm in diameter. Tests with 579 clinical isolates yielded an una...
متن کاملInterpretive criteria for testing susceptibility of staphylococci to mupirocin.
To determine appropriate mupirocin susceptibility testing interpretive criteria, 177 staphylococci were tested by agar dilution, disk diffusion, and E test. E test was found to be a reliable method for determining susceptibility of staphylococci to mupirocin. The agar dilution and disk diffusion results were plotted on a scattergram, and error rates were calculated. No errors were found with su...
متن کاملProduction of Ramoplanin and Ramoplanin Analogs by Actinomycetes
Ramoplanin is a glycolipodepsipeptide antibiotic obtained from fermentation of Actinoplanes sp. ATCC 33076 that exhibits activity against clinically important multi-drug-resistant, Gram-positive pathogens including vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and vancomycin-intermediate resistant Clostridium difficile. It disrupts bacterial cell w...
متن کاملComparison of agar dilution, tube dilution, and broth microdilution susceptibility tests for determination of ramoplanin MICs.
Standard broth microdilution (with and without bovine serum albumin [BSA] supplementation), tube dilution, and agar dilution susceptibility tests were compared for determining ramoplanin MICs. With a data base of 246 clinical isolates of gram-positive bacteria from 33 U.S. sites, it was shown that (i) agar and tube dilution susceptibility tests gave essentially the same results (93.9% of the te...
متن کاملInterpretive criteria and quality control limits for testing susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to enoxacin.
For testing the susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to enoxacin, a proposed susceptibility category includes strains for which MICs are less than or equal to 0.5 micrograms/ml and zones of inhibition are greater than or equal to 32 mm in diameter. Because of the sparcity of resistant gonococci, a resistance category was not defined, but laboratory-selected resistant mutants were appropriate...
