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.

Correlation of Netilmicin Agar Dilution and Disk Diffusion Susceptibilities [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1977 A study of 283 isolates of gram-negative bacilli revealed a good correlation ( r = −0.74) between disk diffusion zones of inhibition and agar dilution minimal inhibitory concentrations. Regression analysis suggested that strains with zone sizes 11 mm should be considered resistant, but 34 of 45 strains resistant by ...
