Assessment 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, ...

BACKGROUND A variety of techniques are available for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to find a cost-effective, reliable and easily applicable microbiological method to detect antimicrobial susceptibilities of N. gonorrhoeae in resource-poor countries. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Male and female STD clinic of Regional...
متن کاملComparison of Two Disc Diffusion Methods with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae Isolates
BACKGROUND A few studies are available comparing either minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) disc diffusion method or MIC with the Australian Gonococcal Surveillance Program (AGSP) method. AIM This study was conducted with the aim to identify the most feasible and cost-effective method for antimicrobial susceptibility testin...
متن کاملEvaluation of Etest for testing antimicrobial susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates with different growth media.
The MICs for 101 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae obtained by Etest (AB-Biodisk, Solna, Sweden) and the agar dilution method on GC medium base supplemented with 1% Kellog's defined supplement (GCMB) were compared. The overall percent agreement (within 1 log2 dilution) between methods was greater than 97.9. The Pearson's correlation coefficients for penicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, and c...
متن کاملEpidemilogical analysis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, auxotyping and serotyping.
PURPOSE This study was carried out to analyze the epidemiology of gonorrhea based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing, auxotyping and serotyping in New Delhi, India. METHODS Sixty gonococcal isolates from males with urethritis, females with endocervicitis and their sexual contacts were studied. The isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing, auxotyping and serotyping ...
