Antimicrobial cream susceptibility testing
Burns, 1985Utilizing a recently described rapid needle extrusion method for determining the sensitivities of burn wound isolates, we have compiled data on the resistance patterns of over 250 isolates from our burn unit. Major isolate groups were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, various Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococci.

Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing
2003At the start of the Third Millennium, consensus has yet to be reached regarding the best techniques for meningococcal susceptibility testing and their standardization. Worse, there is no general agreement as to the definition of resistance, or perhaps more accurately, nonsusceptibility, to antibiotics of clinical importance.

Multiple Susceptibility Testing: Is it Helpful?
American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, 1996This study explored whether or not the use of combined group and individually administered susceptibility tests improve the predictive power over the use of a singly administered test. Two hundred and eighty undergraduates were assigned to one of five groups: Group 1 received the HGSHS: A and then the SHSS:C; Group 2 the CIS and SHSS:C; Group 3 the ...

Genetic Testing for Cancer Susceptibility
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2008Genetic testing for mutations in genes associated with an inherited predisposition to cancer is rapidly moving outside specialty genetic services and into mainstream health care. Surgeons, as front-line providers of cancer care, are uniquely positioned to identify those who may benefit from genetic testing and institute changes to their health care ...

Ramoplanin susceptibility testing criteria
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1993Ramoplanin and mupirocin are two antimicrobial agents that may be applied topically. They had similar potencies against susceptible gram-positive cocci, but they differed in their spectra of activity. In plastic microdilution trays, the in vitro activity of ramoplanin was slightly diminished but that activity was restored by the addition of bovine ...

Susceptibility Testing of Entamoeba histolytica
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1983The growth of Entamoeba histolytica in microtiter plates in vitro in a variety of environments with reduced oxygen tensions is reported. With 3% O2, 3% CO2, and 94% N2, the parasite growth in microtiter plates was identical to that in screw-capped culture tubes, as measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation and by quantitative parasite counts.

Antifungal Drug Susceptibility Testing
1989The continuing introduction of new antifungal drugs has increased the demand for methods of in vitro testing that can predict the effects of compounds in vivo. As with antibacterial drugs, tests designed to ascertain the minimum amount of drug needed to inhibit the growth of organisms in vitro (minimum inhibitory concentration, or MIC) have often been ...

Controversies in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1984This article examines a number of areas of disagreement surrounding antimicrobial susceptibility testing and discusses some of the useful susceptibility testing techniques for which no standardized procedures have been established.

Biofilms and Antifungal Susceptibility Testing
2016Yeasts and filamentous fungi both exist as single cells and hyphal forms, two morphologies used by most fungal organisms to create a complex multilayered biofilm structure. In this chapter we describe the most widely used assays for the determination of biofilm production and assessment of susceptibility of biofilms to antifungal agents or host ...

What's the Use of Susceptibility Testing?
Journal of Chemotherapy, 1997The need for routine antibiotic susceptibility testing is not self-evident. Much infection, particularly that seen in domiciliary practice can be (and is) adequately treated on an empirical basis. Although the collection of susceptibility data for the purposes of monitoring antibiotic resistance trends is a useful by-product of routine testing, this ...
