Detection of mecC-Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates in river water : a potential role for water in the environmental dissemination [PDF]

, 2014
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a public health concern due to limited treatment options. The recent description of a mecA homologue, mecC in human and cattle, led to studies to detect this new variant in human and other animal ...

Comparison of disc diffusion, Etest and broth microdilution for testing susceptibility of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa to polymyxins

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2007
Background Considering the increasing use of polymyxins to treat infections due to multidrug resistant Gram-negative in many countries, it is important to evaluate different susceptibility testing methods to this class of antibiotic.

Anthracimycin activity against contemporary methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]

, 2014
Anthracimycin is a recently discovered novel marine-derived compound with activity against Bacillus anthracis. We tested anthracimycin against an expanded panel of Staphylococcus aureus strains in vitro and in vivo. All strains of S.

CLSI broth microdilution method for testing susceptibility of Malasseziapachydermatis to thiabendazole [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2009
Thiabendazole, classified as antiparasitic and also used as an antifungal drug, can be found as otological solution indicated for treatment of parasitic and fungal external otitis in small animals. Malassezia pachydermatis is a yeast recognized as a normal inhabitant on the skin and mucous membranes of dogs and cats.

Comparison of broth microdilution, broth disk elution and automated system results in determining vancomycin susceptibilities of Staphylococcus aureus strains

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Background: The broth disk elution (BDE) method has been recommended by CLSI as an alternative to the broth microdilution (BMD) method, which is the reference method for determining the colistin susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria, since it is more ...

Single dose pharmacodynamics of amphotericin B against Aspergillus species in an in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model [PDF]

, 2013
Conventional MIC testing of amphotericin B results in narrow MIC ranges challenging the detection of resistant strains. In order to discern amphotericin B pharmacodynamics, the in vitro activity of amphotericin B was studied against Aspergillus isolates ...

Torulopsis glabrata: azole susceptibilities by microdilution colorimetric and macrodilution broth assays [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1995
Fluconazole and itraconazole MICs were determined by both the standard macrodilution method of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards and a colorimetric broth microdilution method for 140 isolates of Torulopsis (Candida) glabrata obtained over a 15-year period.

Discordance of vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at 2 μg/mL between Vitek II, E-test, and Broth Microdilution [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Background Vancomycin, the first line antibiotic for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia, is often administered inappropriately when MIC is greater than 2 µg/mL, including ‘susceptible’ strains.
