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 ...

Current Issues in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

1994
This section is based on a point-counterpoint session designed to help in defining the relevant issues facing the microbiologist today, with particular reference to the automated test systems. These issues are a compilation of a large number of issues that were raised during the symposium and the point-counterpoint session.

Dna Probes for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1989
As DNA probes are used more frequently in the clinical laboratory for the detection and identification of pathogens in clinical samples, a means of determining the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of those pathogens will be required. DNA probes directed to specific resistance determinants offer a solution to this problem. Methods of determining the

Microbial genomics and antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2017
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is key in modern clinical microbiology. With pandemic emergence of (multi-)antibiotic resistance, methods to detect and quantify resistance of clinically important bacterial species are imperative. Historically, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was mostly performed using methods relying on bacterial growth.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing in the office laboratory

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1983
The performance, quality control and interpretation of antimicrobial susceptibility tests are a complex affair. Fortunately empiric oral antimicrobial therapy usually suffices for most nonsystemic pediatric bacterial infections which would ordinarily be treated on an outpatient basis (e.g. otitis media, streptococcal pharyngitis, pyoderma, UTI). Common

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria

Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 1979
Antimicrobial therapy of anaerobic infections is usually predicted on the basis of known patterns of susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria to antimicrobial agents rather than on results of in vitro tests of individual isolates. Routine susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria is not recommended, but there are instances of serious infection, i.e ...

Modification of antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy
Abstract The development of new antimicrobial agents is essential to combat antimicrobial resistance. Reliable antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) methods should be established early and thoughtfully to ensure timely patient access to these agents.
