Issues in antifungal susceptibility testing [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2008
In line with the availability of an increasing array of systemic antifungal agents, there is a need for accurate, reproducible and predictive susceptibility testing of fungal isolates in order to help inform clinical choice. Much early attention on antifungal susceptibility testing focused on defining test parameters that produced reproducible and ...

The microenvironment in antibiotic susceptibility testing

APMIS
Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) by agar diffusion has been repeatedly standardized and, in most cases, gives results which predict clinical success when antibiotic treatment is based on such results. The formation of the inhibition zone is due to a transition from planktonic to biofilm mode of growth.

Heterogeneous Colistin-Resistance Phenotypes Coexisting in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Isolates Influence Colistin Susceptibility Testing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The polymyxin antibiotic colistin shows in vitro activity against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. However, an increased incidence of colistin-resistant isolates has been recently observed.

Rapid Susceptibility Testing Methods

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2019
With emerging antimicrobial resistance, rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is needed to provide early definitive therapeutic guidance to optimize patient outcome. Genotypic methods are fast, but can identify only a subset of known resistance elements. Phenotypic methods determine clinically predictive minimal inhibitory concentrations and

Ten-Year Antimicrobial Resistance Trend in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) Isolated from Dogs and Cats Admitted to a Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Italy

Microorganisms
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common occurrence in cats and dogs. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance trends helps in the prudent selection of suitable antimicrobial agents.
