Disc Diffusion and ComASP® Cefiderocol Microdilution Panel to Overcome the Challenge of Cefiderocol Susceptibility Testing in Clinical Laboratory Routine [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2023 Cefiderocol susceptibility testing represents a major challenge for clinical microbiology. Although disc diffusion showed robustness to test cefiderocol susceptibility, large areas of technical uncertainty (ATU) are reported by current EUCAST breakpoints.

Diffusion of antibiotics in intervertebral disc [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 2018 Delivering charged antibiotics to the intervertebral disc is challenging because of the avascular, negatively charged extracellular matrix (ECM) of the tissue. The purpose of this study was to measure the apparent diffusion coefficient of two clinically relevant, charged antibiotics, vancomycin (positively charged) and oxacillin (negatively charged) in

Antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli of extracted Piper betle leaf materials by disc diffusion assay and batch experiments. [PDF]
RSC Adv, 2022 The use of contaminated water by bacteria may cause many diseases, and thus clean water is needed. Chlorine is normally used for the disinfection of wastewater treatment; however, it produces unwanted odors. Using extracted Piper betle (P.

Disc Diffusion Testing of Azithromycin Against Clinical Isolates of Typhoidal Salmonellae: A Diagnostic Conundrum. [PDF]
Cureus, 2021 Introduction: Typhoid remains a major healthcare problem in low and middle-income countries. The emergence of extremely drug-resistant (XDR) typhoid strains from the Indian subcontinent has led to very limited therapeutic options.

Can disc diffusion susceptibility tests assess the antimicrobial activity of engineered nanoparticles? [PDF]
J Nanopart Res, 2018 The use of disc diffusion susceptibility tests to determine the antibacterial activity of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) is questionable because their low diffusivity practically prevents them from penetrating through the culture media.

Diffusion tensor microscopy of the intervertebral disc anulus fibrosus [PDF]
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 1999 Morphologically accurate biomechanical models of the intervertebral disc anulus fibrosus (AF) require precise knowledge of its lamellar architecture; however, available methods of assessment are limited by poor spatial resolution or the destructive nature of the technique.
