Agar-based disk diffusion assay for susceptibility testing of dermatophytes.
Currently, no agar-based susceptibility testing method has been standardized for testing dermatophytes. We describe a newly developed agar-based method employing disk diffusion assay to test the susceptibility of 47 isolates of dermatophytes against 8 antifungals. Our results show that the method is reproducible, is simple, and could be used to determine the antifungal susceptibility of dermato...
متن کاملComparison of disk diffusion method and broth microdilution method for antifungal susceptibility testing of dermatophytes.
The use of the agar diffusion Neo-Sensitabs method to determine antifungal susceptibility of 59 isolates of dermatophytes, namely Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis, M. gypseum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, T. rubrum and T. tonsurans to Clotrimazole (CLZ), Itraconazole (ITZ) and Terbinafine (TBF) is described. Results obtained are compared to the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC)...
متن کاملComparison of Broth Micro Dilution and Disk Diffusion Method for Susceptibility Testing of Dermatophytes
Though fungi are widely distributed, many fungal infections go unrecognised as fungal diseases are not notifiable like some viral, parasitic and bacterial diseases. In recent years, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of fungal infections specially in those people whose immune system is compromised by aging, HIV infection, organ transplantation or cancer therapy (Kannan et al., 2...
متن کاملCorrelation of netilmicin disk diffusion susceptibility and agar dilution susceptibility.
The minimal inhibitory concentration of netilmicin determined by the agar dilution method was correlated with the disk diffusion zone of inhibition against 322 clinical isolates. Regression line analysis revealed good correlation, r = -0.90, and suggested that isolates with zone sizes </=14 mm should be considered resistant.
متن کاملEvaluation of Mueller-Hinton agar for disk diffusion susceptibility tests.
Twelve lots of commercially prepared Mueller-Hinton agar from four medium manufacturers were evaluated for performance with recommended quality control organisms, medium pH, agar depth and uniformity, and characteristics of the zones of inhibition. Only 2 of 12 lots were acceptable for disk diffusion susceptibility tests. Significant problems were observed with the preparation and pouring of th...
