A rapid method of evaluating the susceptibility of spirochaetes to antibiotics would be convenient for investigators. Schneierson (1954) described a method of testing the susceptibility of strains of potentially pathogenic species, in which discs containing standard amounts of antibiotics were dropped into broth, and the broth was inoculated with the organism under study. He found that the resu...

background and objective: implementation of standard methods for accurate detection of bacteria, correct antibiotic susceptibility testing and effective treatment of bacterial infections play important roles in development of public health and prevention of drug resistance. this study aimed to detect bacteria using standard methods and compare the results with the results obtained in teaching h...

A total of 49 Aeromonas isolates obtained from food animals and immunocompromised human cancer patients from Nagpur, were investigated for antibiotic sensitivity pattern by disc diffusion method. Aeromonas spp. exhibited different level of antibiotic sensitivity based on the zone of inhibition observed around the antibiotic disc. Most of the isolates exhibited highest sensitivity towards ceftaz...
