Agar Gradient Diffusion Susceptibility Testing for Neisseria gonorrhoeae: A Reliable Alternative to Agar Dilution?
متن کامل
Agar dilution method for susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The antibiotic susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates obtained from patients attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases in Tucumán, Argentina, were determined by the agar dilution method (MIC). 3.5% of the isolates produced beta-lactamase. A total of 96.5% of beta-lactamase negative isolates tested were susceptible to penicillin (MIC < or = 2 micrograms/ml-1); 14.03% of th...
متن کاملAssessment of Etest as an alternative to agar dilution for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
We studied whether the Etest can be used as an alternative to agar dilution to determine antimicrobial susceptibilities of ceftriaxone, cefixime, and cefpodoxime in Neisseria gonorrhoeae surveillance. One hundred fifteen clinical and laboratory isolates of N. gonorrhoeae were tested following the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-approved CLSI standard agar dilution method and, ...
متن کاملIn vitro comparison of disk diffusion and agar dilution antibiotic susceptibility test methods for Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
At present, most Neisseria gonorrhoeae testing is done with beta-lactamase and agar dilution tests with common therapeutic agents. Generally, in bacteriological diagnosis laboratories in Argentina, study of antibiotic susceptibility of N. gonorrhoeae is based on beta-lactamase determination and agar dilution method with common therapeutic agents. The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory S...
