Standardizing antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Campylobacter species.
We concur with the conclusion of Hakanen et al. (A. Hakanen, P. Huovinen, P. Kotilainen, A. Siitunen, and H. Jousimies-Somer, Letter, J. Clin. Microbiol. 40:2705–2706, 2002) in that a global surveillance of Campylobacter spp. would be enhanced by the acceptance of a standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing method including the identification of an appropriate quality control (QC) organ...
متن کاملAntibiotic disk susceptibility tests with Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
We have used a standardized disk diffusion procedure to test the susceptibility of 892 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to six antibiotics. The disk diffusion test described is a modification of the disk test of Bauer, Kirby, Sherris, and Turck, which is widely used for susceptibility testing of fast-growing, aerobic pathogens. With all six antibiotics (penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, er...
متن کاملSetting interpretive breakpoints for antimicrobial susceptibility testing using disk diffusion.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing plays a key role in clinical microbiology. The disk diffusion test dates back to the 1940s and became standardised from the 1950s, with the International Collaborative Study (ICS) and National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) as the two major standards. Interlaboratory variation of disk test results was recognised early but has never been ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Mueller-Hinton agar for disk diffusion susceptibility tests.
Twelve lots of commercially prepared Mueller-Hinton agar from four medium manufacturers were evaluated for performance with recommended quality control organisms, medium pH, agar depth and uniformity, and characteristics of the zones of inhibition. Only 2 of 12 lots were acceptable for disk diffusion susceptibility tests. Significant problems were observed with the preparation and pouring of th...
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...
