Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Tigecycline on Acinetobacter in Burn Patients

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2020
Background: Burn infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in spite of significant improvements in burn care and treatment. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., Staphylococcus aureus etc. are the commonest isolates in which rapid development of resistance to multiple drugs limits the therapeutic options for infections by ...

Statin Concentrations Below the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Attenuate the Virulence ofRhizopus oryzae [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Mucormycosis is a destructive invasive mold infection afflicting patients with diabetes and hematologic malignancies. Patients with diabetes are often treated with statins, which have been shown to have antifungal properties. We sought to examine the effects of statins on Rhizopus oryzae, a common cause of mucormycosis.Clinical strains of R.

The role of cascade reporting integrated with breakpoint to minimum inhibitory concentration quotient (minimum inhibitory concentration therapeutic index) and minimum inhibitory concentration guiding table on clinical microbiology reporting of culture-proven bloodstream infections

Journal of Current Research in Scientific Medicine, 2023
Background: The breakpoint to minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) quotient (BMQ) of an antimicrobial agent is the ratio of susceptible breakpoint divided by MIC of the test isolate. The higher the BMQ, the better is the therapeutic efficacy.

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Assay for Antifungal Drugs

Bio-Protocol, 2012
The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Assay is widely used to measure the susceptibility of yeasts to antifungal agents. In serial two-fold dilutions, the lowest concentration of antifungal drug that is sufficient to inhibit fungal growth is the MIC.

Antibiotic susceptibility testing using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays [PDF]

npj Antimicrobials and Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance is due to genetic changes that allow bacteria to evade antibiotic treatment. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is critical for the detection of antibiotic-resistant strains, the selection of effective therapeutic strategies ...

Minimum inhibitory concentration creep in Enterobacterales – A rising concern

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: The irrational use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens. The phenomenon of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) creeps occurs when organisms start showing raised MIC but within susceptible range giving an
