Comparing the disk-diffusion and agar dilution tests for Neisseria gonorrhoeae antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2016
Background We assessed the validity of testing for antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical and mutant Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) isolates by disk diffusion in comparison to agar dilution, and Etest® (bioMerieux, France), respectively, for three third ...

Multicenter evaluation of the eQUANT system for use with disk diffusion AST of gram-negative bacteria directly from positive blood cultures [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Bloodstream infections frequently cause sepsis, a condition that can lead to organ dysfunction and death. Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results are critical for appropriate medical intervention and to either de-escalate or escalate ...

Evaluation of errors during susceptibility reporting of glycopeptide antibiotics for enterococcal isolates on sole basis of widely used disk diffusion test

Healthcare in Low-resource Settings, 2022
In resource limited settings, very often susceptibility reports glycopeptide antibiotics are released only on the basis of disk diffusion test. Determination of MIC by either E-strips or microbroth dilution tests can be of paramount importance in ...
