Antimicrobial susceptibility testing: A critical evaluation

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1988
Antibiotic susceptibility test results must be interpreted cautiously. There are important differences between the laboratory and natural environments. There are also important differences between disc and dilution tests, and between laboratories. Laboratory tests can demonstrate antagonism and synergy.

A Microdilution Method for Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing: An Evaluation

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1970
A micromethod for serial dilution antibiotic susceptibility tests has been described and evaluated. The delivery of optimal-sized droplets of medium and inoculum is influenced greatly by static electric charges on plastic well plates in which the test is performed.

Evaluation of the susceptibility of Prototheca zopfii to milk pasteurization

Mycopathologia, 1999
Protothecosis has been reported in humans (gastroenteritis, bursitis, etc.) and in many other animal species. Bovine mastitis represents the main form of occurrence of protothecosis in cattle. Milk as well as dairy products, when contaminated with Prototheca spp., represent a potential means of transmission of this zoonosis.

Evaluation of the E-Test for susceptibility testing of pneumococci

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1992
The E-Test (AB Biodisk, Sweden) is an antibiotic gradient strip that is applied to an inoculated agar plate and results in an elliptical zone of inhibition that intercepts the graded strip, producing a quantitative (microgram per milliliter) result. Pneumococci (100) were used in this study, 38 penicillin-susceptible [minimal inhibitory concentrations (

Evaluation of disk susceptibility testing of cefotaxime/desacetylcefotaxime

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1989
The susceptibility of 453 clinical bacterial isolates was determined by broth microdilution and disk diffusion methods to cefotaxime (CTX), desacetylcefotaxime (dCTX), and various combinations of CTX plus dCTX. With a 1:1 ratio of CTX/dCTX, 97% of the minimal inhibitory concentrations were within one doubling dilution of those for CTX alone.

Evaluation of the BIOGRAM antimicrobial susceptibility test system

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1985
BIOGRAM is an antimicrobial susceptibility test system for the determination of MICs from the standard disk diffusion test zone diameters. The system was challenged with 511 recent clinical isolates of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, nonfermentative gram-negative bacteria, staphylococci, and enterococci.

Multiscale Evaluation of Moisture Susceptibility of Biomodified Bitumen

ACS Applied Bio Materials, 2019
This paper studies the selective adsorption and dewetting processes of various biomodifiers with respect to siliceous surfaces to determine dominant moisture damage mechanisms in bitumen doped with biomodifiers. Accordingly, it introduces four different biomodifiers made from various biomasses while explaining their differential effects on moisture ...

Evaluating the population measles susceptibility in Tianjin, China

Vaccine, 2020
Measles is a highly infectious illness requiring herd immunity of 95% to interrupt transmission. China has not reached elimination goals despite high vaccination coverage. We estimated the population susceptibility against measles in Tianjin, China and to tailor awareness raising activities in the measles elimination plan.Age-specific measles ...

Evaluation of the Etest for susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1995
We compared the susceptibility test results of 220 anaerobes against 14 antimicrobials using the Etest (AB Biodisk, Solna, Sweden) with those using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) standard agar dilution method (Wadsworth version). The Etest medium was brucella blood (whole) agar and the inoculum size was equivalent to a

Susceptibility weighted imaging in the evaluation of movement disorders

Clinical Radiology, 2013
Movement disorders are neurodegenerative disorders associated with abnormalities of brain iron deposition. In this presentation, we aim to describe the role of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in the imaging of patients with movement disorders and differentiate between the various disorders.
