Disc diffusion susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae by NCCLS methodology using low-strength ampicillin and co-amoxiclav discs.
OBJECTIVES The objective of this multicentre study was to define the accuracy and reproducibility of the NCCLS disc diffusion method for Haemophilus influenzae against ampicillin and co-amoxiclav in Finnish clinical microbiology laboratories. Special attention was paid to the ability of the laboratories to detect beta-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant (BLNAR) strains. METHODS Three BLNA...
متن کاملTemocillin disc diffusion susceptibility testing by EUCAST methodology.
Sir, Temocillin is a semi-synthetic b-lactam antibiotic which is the 6-a-methoxy derivative of ticarcillin. It is a narrow-spectrum agent and its activity is almost exclusively limited to the Enterobacteriaceae—it is not effective against Gram-positive organisms, anaerobes or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As temocillin is highly stable against hydrolysis by b-lactamases, including extendedspectrum an...
متن کاملFailure to detect ampicillin-resistant, non-beta-lactamase-producing Haemophilus influenzae by standard disk susceptibility testing.
We questioned whether the apparent rarity of ampicillin-resistant, non-beta-lactamase-producing (NBLP) Haemophilus influenzae was due to failure of detection. We identified ampicillin-resistant and ampicillin-susceptible H. influenzae by the agar dilution technique, using 10(5)- and 10(3)-CFU inocula. We compared the disk susceptibility of 18 ampicillin-resistant NBLP strains, 13 ampicillin-res...
متن کاملSusceptibility of ampicillin-resistant Haemophilus influenzae to seven penicillins.
Sixty-seven clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae from various sections of the United States, England, and Germany were tested for susceptibility to penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, epicillin, carbenicillin, ticarcillin, and methicillin. Fifty-three of the strains had previously been judged to be ampicillin resistant and 14 had been determined to be ampicillin susceptible. Fifty-two o...
متن کاملSusceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae to clarithromycin.
Susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae to the macrolide compounds has often been problematic. This is as a result of the inability of many isolates of H. influenzae to grow without the addition of 5% CO2 to the incubation atmosphere and the subsequent detrimental effect that CO2 has on the activity of the macrolide group of compounds. This report describes refinements and recommendati...
