Microbial testing in food safety: effect of specificity and sensitivity on sampling plans—how does the OC curve move

open access: closedCurrent Opinion in Food Science, 2016
Obviously the quality of test methods does have an impact on the performance of sampling plans. A low sensitivity means that actual positive samples are tested negative (i.e. false negatives) and moves the Operating Characteristic (OC) curve to the right. Values of sensitivity above 0.70 do not show large effects on the position of the OC curve.

MICROBIAL SENSITIVITY TEST IN MANAGEMENT OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

open access: closedJournal of the American Medical Association, 1959
Prompt determination of the causative organism and of its sensitiveness to various antibiotics is important in cases of infection. The test here described involves the use of a special culture medium and antibiotic disks. The medium contains whole blood and is spread, with the inoculum, on plates.

Microbial identification and antibiotic sensitivity testing, an aid for patients refractory to periodontal therapy

open access: closedJournal of Clinical Periodontology, 1994
Abstract The importance of microbial surveillance is illustrated in 3 clinical cases. Each case demonstrated a continued lack of response to conventional periodontal treatment. Repeated bouts of periodontal abscess formation and bone Joss occurred over a 3‐ to 4‐ year period, despite numerous surgeries supplemented with antibiotics.

[Accelerated determination of microbial sensitivity to antibiotics and chemotherapeutic preparations by serial dilutions using the peroxidase test].

open access: closedAntibiotiki, 1980
A rapid method for determination of microbial sensitivity to antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs with the use of the peroxidase test is described. The procedure takes 6 hours. Peroxidase is determined by a change in the color of the methyl-para-amino phenol sulfate solution added to the broth culture in 6 hours (simultaneously with hydrogen peroxide)

Microbial aetiology and sensitivity of asymptomatic bacteriuria among ante-natal mothers in Mulago hospital, Uganda.

African Health Sciences, 2010
BACKGROUND Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy is associated with potential urinary and obstetric complications. However the prevalence aetiology and antimicrobial sensitivity patterns of asymptomatic bacteriurea among women attending ante-natal care ...
