Evaluation of Etest for susceptibility testing of rapidly growing mycobacteria.
MICs of amikacin, cefoxitin, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, doxycycline, and imipenem were determined by Etest for 100 clinical strains of rapidly growing mycobacteria and compared with MICs determined by a reference agar dilution method. Etest MICs were also determined by an alternative inoculum application (agar overlay) method and compared with MICs determined by the inoculum application met...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing of rapidly growing mycobacteria isolated in Japan
BACKGROUND Difficult-to-treat infections caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are increasingly observed in clinical settings. However, studies on antimicrobial susceptibilities and effective treatments against RGM in Japan are limited. METHODS We conducted susceptibility testing of potential antimicrobial agents, including tigecycline and tebipenem, against RGM. Clinical RGM isolates ...
متن کاملDrug susceptibility testing of rapidly growing mycobacteria in extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
There has been an increasing awareness of the rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM), of which numerous species and phylogenetic groups are clearly established human pathogens. It is important to appropriately distinguish RGM from other mycobacteria, as first-line antituberculous drugs are ineffective for their treatment. Variability in susceptibility of RGM is seen in relation to species, differen...
متن کاملInfections due to rapidly growing mycobacteria.
Rapidly growing mycobacteria, generally of low virulence, are capable of causing a wide spectrum of infections. Increasing reports in the literature, referral center experiences, and data from the Infectious Disease Society of America Emerging Infectious Disease Network suggest that greater numbers of infections are occurring. Epidemiological study is imperative in understanding the true incide...
متن کاملIn vitro drug susceptibility of 40 international reference rapidly growing mycobacteria to 20 antimicrobial agents.
Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are human pathogens that are relatively easily identified by acid-fast staining but are proving difficult to treat in the clinic. In this study, we performed susceptibility testing of 40 international reference RGM species against 20 antimicrobial agents using the cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton (CAMH) broth microdilution based on the minimum inhibitory concent...
