Antimicrobial cream susceptibility testing

Burns, 1985
Utilizing a recently described rapid needle extrusion method for determining the sensitivities of burn wound isolates, we have compiled data on the resistance patterns of over 250 isolates from our burn unit. Major isolate groups were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, various Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococci.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2020
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and interpretation is a critical component of antimicrobial stewardship in bovine practice, yet it remains 1 of the most poorly understood diagnostic tests in veterinary medicine. Improved practitioner understanding of the process of antimicrobial susceptibility testing, clinical breakpoint determination, and the ...

Standardization of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1989
In summary, methods for measuring bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents in vitro were initially developed with little direction or coordinated effort. When a need appeared, most laboratory workers simply devised a method that would solve their own immediate problem.

Controversies in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1984
This article examines a number of areas of disagreement surrounding antimicrobial susceptibility testing and discusses some of the useful susceptibility testing techniques for which no standardized procedures have been established.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing

2003
Abstract In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing is undertaken in clinical laboratories to predict the likely in vivo response of the infecting organism to a selected range of antimicrobial agents. Susceptibility tests are designed to give a result interpreted as susceptible (sensitive.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing for Staphylococcus lugdunensis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2022
Evaluation of penicillin and oxacillin susceptibility testing was conducted on 200 Staphylococcus lugdunensis isolates. Disc diffusion with penicillin 1 IU (P1, EUCAST) and penicillin 10 IU (P10, CLSI) was compared with nitrocefin discs (Cefinase) and automated broth microdilution (Vitek 2).

Application and Interpretation of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2023
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is an important component of antimicrobial stewardship. This article discusses how AST methods and breakpoints are developed, describes when AST may or may not be useful in clinical practice, and discusses how to interpret AST results from bacterial isolates from cattle, sheep, and goats.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2016
There continues to be considerable confusion and debate regarding the utility of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) to aid in the antimicrobial selection process. With the renewed emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship in both human and veterinary medicine, it is important to consider all disease preventive and diagnostic tools available.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing: A critical evaluation

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1988
Antibiotic susceptibility test results must be interpreted cautiously. There are important differences between the laboratory and natural environments. There are also important differences between disc and dilution tests, and between laboratories. Laboratory tests can demonstrate antagonism and synergy.

Clinical relevance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1992
In recent years, significant resistance to antimicrobial agents has been encountered among certain anaerobic bacteria. Susceptibility patterns vary from region to region, but even within a given region susceptibility is not always predictable. Initially, therapy of mixed anaerobic infections must be empirical, based on the nature of the infection, the ...
