Calibration of the disk diffusion test for trovafloxacin susceptibility testing of four anaerobic species

open access: yesClinical Microbiology and Infection, 2000
ObjectivesTo study trovafloxacin susceptibility among clinical isolates of four anaerobic bacterial species using minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) determinations, E test assays and disk diffusion test results and to calibrate the disk diffusion ...

Setting interpretive breakpoints for antimicrobial susceptibility testing using disk diffusion

open access: yesInternational Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2011
International audienceAntimicrobial susceptibility testing plays a key role in clinical microbiology. The disk diffusion test dates back to the 1940s and became standardised from the 1950s, with the International Collaborative Study (ICS) and National ...

Disk diffusion and disk elution tests with A-56268 and erythromycin

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1987
Zones of inhibition around 15 micrograms A-56268 disks were essentially the same size as those around 15 micrograms erythromycin disks. If the same MIC breakpoints are to be used for defining susceptible categories for both macrolides, interpretive zone size standards for erythromycin disk tests may also be used for A-56268 disk tests.

DISK DIFFUSION SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING OF DERMATOPHYTES WITH ALLYLAMINES

International Journal of Dermatology, 1994
Abstract Background. Allylamines are a newly developed group of drugs possessing a broad spectrum of activity against a wide range of fungi. With the advent of new antifungal drugs, susceptibility testing of fungi is receiving increased attention as important laboratory procedures for aiding in the selection of appropriate drug therapy. Methods.

Proposed disk diffusion susceptibility criteria for ofloxacin

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1985
Disk diffusion zone diameter breakpoint criteria for ofloxacin were tentatively established by correlating MICs with 1-, 3-, and 5-micrograms disk inhibitory zone diameters for 638 bacterial isolates representing 36 species. We recommend use of 5-micrograms disks with the following breakpoints: susceptible (MIC, less than or equal to 2.0 micrograms/ml),

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Clostridium difficile using EUCAST epidemiological cut-off values and disk diffusion correlates

open access: yesClinical Microbiology and Infection, 2012
With the emergence of reduced susceptibility of Clostridium difficile to metronidazole and vancomycin the value of antimicrobial susceptibility testing has increased.

Disk Diffusion Susceptibility Testing of Nocardia Species

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1977
The effectiveness of 13 antimicrobial agents against 51 clinical isolates of Nocardia was determined with use of agar dilutions and disk diffusion method. Amikacin inhibited less than 90% of isolates and, like the other aminoglycosides, showed good correlation between minimal inhibitory concentrations and sizes of zones of inhibition around the disks ...

Detection of disk drug orientation for disk diffusion susceptibility testing

The 4th 2011 Biomedical Engineering International Conference, 2012
At the present, the microbiological infection is one of the most significant issues in the global. The medical laboratory diagnosis, microbiology, is the most popular way to identify a type of microbiology which is infected-source. Moreover, there are a few microbial prognoses to support a medical treatment.
