Fosfomycin Susceptibility Testing Using Commercial Agar Dilution Test [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The reference standard for fosfomycin antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is agar dilution, but it is laborious and is not routinely used in diagnostic microbiology.

Agar-Dilution Is Comparable to Broth Dilution for MIC Determination in Streptococcus agalactiae [PDF]
AntibioticsBackground: Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis in high-income countries. While intrapartum antibiotic screening reduces this risk, increasing resistance to macrolides and lincosamides in Europe ...

Comparison of Etest, Vitek and agar dilution for susceptibility testing of colistin [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2007 In total, 172 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia were tested for susceptibility to colistin by agar dilution, Etest and the Vitek 2 system. Isolates with a colistin MIC < or =2 mg/L were considered to be susceptible.

Evaluation of agar dilution as an alternative method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and tentative ECOFF determination for Arcobacter butzleri [PDF]
Scientific ReportsArcobacter butzleri is an emerging pathogen associated with human gastrointestinal illness. Despite its growing significance, information on the resistance of this microorganism is limited due to the lack of practical antimicrobial susceptibility testing
