Broth dilution minimum inhibitory concentrations: rationale for use of selected antimicrobial concentrations

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1979
A microdilution susceptibility testing procedure utilizing selected, clinically relevant concentrations of a large number of antimicrobial agents is described. A qualitative code designed to facilitate interpretation of quantitative results is coupled with each antimicrobial concentration.

Correlation of minimum inhibitory concentration and beta-lactamase activity

Infection, 1977
The beta-lactamase activity of 510 recently isolated Enterobacteriaceae was investigated with a quantitative photometric test. Beta-lactamase could be detected in 55 percent of the Enterobacteriaceae. At the same time minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) of beta-lactam antibiotics was determined.

Computerized Interpretation of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Antimicrobic Susceptibility Testing

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1981
Quantitative antimicrobic susceptibility tests by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) are becoming more and more prevalent in United States laboratories. Interpretation of MIC values is complex and should be considered as part of the laboratory service.

Effect of protein on ramoplanin broth microdilution minimum inhibitory concentrations

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1993
Ramoplanin is a glycolipodepsipeptide antibiotic active against Gram-positive bacteria. We observed that microdilution minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were higher than those obtained in glass tubes or by agar dilution. Initial studies showed that these differences disappeared when 30% bovine serum was added to the broth. Further studies showed

Clinical relevance of Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs)

Aquaculture, 2001
This paper considers the practical approach taken to choosing the best antibiotic treatment for a bacterial disease. Comparisons are made between minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Disc Diffusion methods of determining antibiotic sensitivity of pathogenic bacteria in practice.

A review on influencing factors on the minimum inhibitory concentration of essential oils

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2017
With growing interest in essential oils as natural preservatives in the food industry, the literature is expanding enormously. To understand the antimicrobial activity of essential oils, the antimicrobial mechanism of individual essential oil (EO) compounds, and their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), are interesting starting points for ...

The inhibitory quotient. A method for interpreting minimum inhibitory concentration data.

JAMA, 1981
A method for reporting minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data that facilitates interpretation by the clinician unfamiliar with clinically achievable drug levels is described. This system uses the inhibitory quotient, which is a number reflecting the multiple of the MIC that would be achieved.

Development of treatment strategies by comparing the minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum fungicidal concentrations of azole drugs in dermatophytes

The Journal of Dermatology
AbstractWe compared the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) of azoles in antifungal drug‐susceptible, terbinafine‐resistant, and lowly itraconazole (ITCZ)‐susceptible strains of dermatophytes. To assess the MICs of ITCZ, ravuconazole (RVCZ), efinaconazole (EFCZ), and luliconazole (LUCZ) in the isolates,

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Analysis and Susceptibility Testing of MRSA

2007
The widespread occurrence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or oxacillin-resistant MRSA is a major cause of concern worldwide. Although mainly located in hospital environments, these microorganisms have been reported to have the capacity to cause infections in the community.
