Comparison study of broth macrodilution and microdilution antifungal susceptibility tests.
An evaluation of broth dilution antifungal susceptibility tests was performed by determining both the micro- and macrodilution MICs of amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, ketoconazole, and cilofungin against 38 isolates of Candida albicans, Candida lusitaniae, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Torulopsis glabrata. The following preliminary antifungal w...
متن کاملComparison of broth macrodilution, broth microdilution, and E test antifungal susceptibility tests for fluconazole.
A comparison of the E test, the broth microdilution test, and the reference broth macrodilution susceptibility test of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards for fluconazole susceptibility testing was performed with 238 clinical isolates of Candida species and Torulopsis (Candida) glabrata. An 80% inhibition endpoint MIC was determined by the reference broth macrodilution meth...
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 کاملCephalosporin susceptibility of methicillin-resistant, coagulase-negative staphylococci.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci were tested for susceptibility to methicillin, cephradine, ceftriaxone, cephalothin, and cefamandole by standard broth microdilution. Most of the 26 methicillin-resistant isolates were susceptible to cephalothin and cefamandole, but very few were susceptible to ceftriaxone, and none was susceptible to cephradine. The proportion of bacterial cells that grew in th...
متن کاملSusceptibility of clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococci isolates to new antibiotics.
BACKGROUND The treatment of methicillin-resistant staphylococcal infections has been a growing problem both in and out of hospitals for the past 30 years. Therefore, there is a need for other antibiotics as an alternative to glycopeptides in the treatment of methicillin-resistant staphylococcal infections. This study investigated the in vitro susceptibility of 49 methicillin-resistant Staphyloc...
