Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: Clinical Laboratory and Standards Institute (CLSI) Methods
G.S. Hall (ed.), Interactions of Yeasts, Moulds, and Antifungal Agents: How to Detect Resistance, DOI 10.1007/978-1-59745-134-5_2, © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 Abstract Antifungal susceptibility testing has become an important tool for physicians faced with making diffi cult treatment decisions regarding treatment of patients with fungal infections. The Clinical Laboratory and St...
متن کاملReevaluation of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute disk diffusion breakpoints for tetracyclines for testing Enterobacteriaceae.
We reevaluated Enterobacteriaceae disk diffusion breakpoints for the tetracyclines published in the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) document M100-S16, which were (susceptible/resistant) >or=19 mm/or=16 mm/or=19 mm/<or=14 mm for minocycline. A collection of 504 recent clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were test...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing of clinical isolates of Bordetella pertussis from northern California: report from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program.
Reports of an increased clinical incidence of pertussis and the development of resistance by Bordetella pertussis to erythromycin prompted the collection and testing of recent clinical isolates from patients in northern California against a range of antimicrobial agents by the Etest (AB BIODISK, Solna, Sweden) method. All isolates were fully susceptible to all eight agents tested (MIC, <or=0.38...
متن کاملHaemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis from patients with community-acquired respiratory tract infections: antimicrobial susceptibility patterns from the SENTRY antimicrobial Surveillance Program (United States and Canada, 1997).
Between February and June of 1997, a large number of community-acquired respiratory tract isolates of Haemophilus influenzae (n = 1,077) and Moraxella catarrhalis (n = 503) from 27 U.S. and 7 Canadian medical centers were characterized as part of the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program. Overall prevalences of beta-lactamase production were 33.5% in H. influenzae and 92.2% in M. catarrhali...
متن کاملSetting interpretive breakpoints for antimicrobial susceptibility testing using disk diffusion.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing plays a key role in clinical microbiology. The disk diffusion test dates back to the 1940s and became standardised from the 1950s, with the International Collaborative Study (ICS) and National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) as the two major standards. Interlaboratory variation of disk test results was recognised early but has never been ...
