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 Systems

2015
This chapter focuses primarily on commercial susceptibility testing systems currently available in the United States. Semiautomated disk diffusion and manual and semiautomated broth microdilution systems are utilized for small volumes of susceptibility testing, while larger laboratories often choose an automated broth microdilution system.

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

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 ...

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Anaerobic Bacteria

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1984
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria has assumed greater importance in recent years because of (1) an increase in recognition of the clinical significance of anaerobes, (2) a decrease in predictability of susceptibility patterns, (3) the appearance of new antimicrobial agents with variable activity against anaerobes, (4) an ...

Direct antimicrobial susceptibility testing in bacteriuria

APMIS, 1999
A method for diagnosis of bacteriuria using semiquantitative culture in combination with direct susceptibility testing is described. Susceptibility testing with the breakpoint method was performed by means of a multiple inoculation technique. A simple biochemical typing on solid media of lactose‐fermenting Enterobacteriaceae strains and aesculin ...
