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 ...

E-test versus agar dilution for antibiotic susceptibility testing of Helicobacter pylori: a comparison study [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2020 Objective For evaluating the antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori, the agar dilution method is the gold standard; however, using this method in daily practice is laborious. E-test has been proposed to be an uncomplicated method.

Poloxamer dilution as an on-demand alternative to agar dilution-based antimicrobial susceptibility testing [PDF]
Journal of Clinical MicrobiologyAgar dilution is a reference susceptibility testing method uniquely or preferentially recommended for certain antimicrobials. However, the effort required to pour individual agar plates spanning a doubling dilution range precludes its practical ...

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
