Determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations [PDF]
Abstract Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are defined as the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial that will inhibit the visible growth of a microorganism after overnight incubation, and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) as the lowest concentration of antimicrobial that will prevent the growth of an organism after ...

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Tigecycline on Acinetobacter in Burn Patients
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 ...

Evaluation of clinicians’ knowledge and use of minimum inhibitory concentration values
Routinely reporting minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values to clinicians remains controversial. We surveyed clinicians to assess their knowledge and usage of MIC in clinical scenarios. The majority of respondents used MIC values to select antibiotic therapy, with a tendency to use those antibiotics with lower MICs, regardless of clinical ...

Speciation and Susceptibility Pattern of Enterococcal Species with Special Reference to High Level Gentamicin and Vancomycin [PDF]
Introduction: Enterococci have emerged as the second most common cause of nosocomial infections in the gastrointestinal tract, oral cavity and genitourinary tract. The common species of Enterococci which cause human infections are E.

A Bayesian approach to the semiparametric estimation of a minimum inhibitory concentration distribution [PDF]
Bacteria that have developed a reduced susceptibility against antimicrobials pose a major threat to public health. Hence, monitoring their distribution in the general population is of major importance. This monitoring is performed based on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values, which are collected through dilution experiments.

Estimation of the wild‐type minimum inhibitory concentration value distribution [PDF]
Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the main public health burdens of the last decades, and monitoring the development and spread of non‐wild‐type isolates has therefore gained increased interest. Monitoring is performed based on the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values, which are collected through the application of dilution ...

Susceptibility testing: accurate and reproducible minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and non-inhibitory concentration (NIC) values [PDF]
Measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a substance by current methods is straightforward, whereas obtaining useful comparative information from the tests can be more difficult. A simple technique and a method of data analysis are reported which give the experimentalist more useful information from susceptibility testing.
