Phenotypic and Genotypic Characteristics of Members of the Genus Streptobacillus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The genus Streptobacillus (S.) remained monotypic for almost 90 years until two new species were recently described. The type species, S. moniliformis, is one of the two etiological agents of rat bite fever, an under-diagnosed, worldwide occurring ...

The accuracy of four commercial broth microdilution tests in the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration of colistin [PDF]
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2020 Colistin is considered as one of the last-resort antibiotics and reliable antimicrobial susceptibility testing is therefore crucial. The reference standard for AST according to EUCAST and CLSI is broth microdilution (BMD). However, BMD is labor intensive
