Defining antibiotic resistance-towards international harmonization
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing with phenotypic methods requires breakpoints, i.e. a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) categorizing micro-organisms into susceptible, intermediately susceptible, and resistant for the relevant antimicrobial agent. Determinations of breakpoints require tools such as the understanding of dosing, MIC distributions of organisms without resistance mechanisms...
متن کاملA long journey from minimum inhibitory concentration testing to clinically predictive breakpoints: deterministic and probabilistic approaches in deriving breakpoints.
Since the origin of an "'International Collaborative Study on Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing'" in 1971, considerable advancement has been made to standardize clinical susceptibility testing procedures of antimicrobial agents. However, a consensus on the methods to be used and interpretive criteria was not reached, so the results of susceptibility testing were discrepant. Recently, the European ...
متن کاملChallenging a dogma: antimicrobial susceptibility testing breakpoints for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The rise in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis makes it increasingly important that antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis produce clinically meaningful and technically reproducible results. Unfortunately, this is not always the case because mycobacteriology specialists have not followed generally accepted modern principles for the establishment of susceptibility break...
متن کاملAntibiotic susceptibility profiles of oral pathogens.
Periodontitis is a bacterial disease that can be treated with systemic antibiotics. The aim of this study was to establish the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of five periodontal pathogens to six commonly used antibiotics in periodontics. A total of 247 periodontal bacterial isolates were tested for susceptibility to the six antibiotics using the Etest method. MIC(50) and MIC(90) values (min...
