Instrumentation in antimicrobial susceptibility testing [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2001 Abstract Studies in the 1960s demonstrated the problems of variability in susceptibility testing methods, especially those affecting the performance of disc diffusion procedures. These studies made apparent the need for standardization and resulted in more clearly defined performance limits for growth medium, incubation conditions ...
