Comparison of broth microdilution method using Haemophilus test medium and agar dilution method for susceptibility testing of Eikenella corrodens.

چکیده
Susceptibility testing of Eikenella corrodens is usually performed by a Mueller-Hinton sheep blood agar dilution (AD) method. However, this method is impractical for testing only a few strains. We compared AD with the broth microdilution method using Haemophilus test medium (HTM) in order to determine the susceptibility of 36 clinical isolates of E. corrodens to eight antimicrobial agents. MICs obtained by the HTM method yielded 95.5 and 84% agreement (within 2 and 1 log2 dilutions, respectively) with those obtained by AD. The HTM method with incubation in CO2 for 48 h was highly reproducible and constitutes an easy alternative for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of E. corrodens.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of less commonly isolated Haemophilus species using Haemophilus test medium.
Haemophilus test medium (HTM) was developed recently for dilution and disk diffusion antimicrobial agent susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae. The application of HTM to the testing of other, less frequently encountered Haemophilus species recovered from humans was evaluated in this study by using commercially prepared HTM (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) in broth microd...

The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 100 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to six antipseudomonal antibiotics were tested by five methods: the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) methods for broth microdilution, agar dilution, and agar disk diffusion; the Vitek Automicrobic System method (Vitek Systems, Hazelwood, Mo.); and the PDM Epsilometer test (E test) (...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Eikenella corrodens to penicillin, apalcillin, and twelve new cephalosporins.
The susceptibility of 29 strains of Eikenella corrodens to penicillin, apalcillin, and 12 new cephalosporins was determined by the agar dilution method. Most strains were resistant to cefsulodin, and some were resistant to apalcillin and cefpiramide. Although all strains were susceptible to the other cephalosporins tested, most of those drugs were as active as or less active than penicillin. Su...
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...

The susceptibility of 513 clinical isolates to doripenem was determined by broth microdilution, agar dilution, and Etest. Overall agreements for Etest and agar dilution MIC values compared to reference broth microdilution at +/-1 log(2) dilution were 88% and 94%, respectively. Etest MIC values demonstrated 98% agreement within +/-2 log(2) dilutions compared to the reference broth microdilution ...
