Vaspar broth-disk procedure for antibiotic susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.
A modification of the Wilkins-Thiel broth-disk procedure for antibiotic susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria is described. This method utilizes an aerobically prepared medium overlaid with molten vaspar. Specialized anaerobic techniques or prereduced media are not required.
متن کاملModified broth-disk method for testing the antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
The most commonly used method for testing the antibiotic susceptibility of aerobic and facultative bacteria is the disk diffusion method. However, some anaerobic bacteria do not grow well enough in anaerobic jars for performance of disk diffusion tests. A modification of the broth-disk method of Schneierson allowed us to determine antibiotic susceptibility in a completely anaerobic environment....
متن کاملEvaluation of the Etest for susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.
We compared the susceptibility test results of 220 anaerobes against 14 antimicrobials using the Etest (AB Biodisk, Solna, Sweden) with those using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) standard agar dilution method (Wadsworth version). The Etest medium was brucella blood (whole) agar and the inoculum size was equivalent to a no. 1 McFarland standard. Thirty-six perce...
متن کاملMicrodilution technique for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.
A microdilution technique using commercially available media and materials was developed and used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of clindamycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, minocycline, ampicillin, carbenicillin, cephalothin, and gentamicin for 101 anaerobic isolates. Representative strains of Bacteroides, Clostridium, Fusobacterium, Peptococcus, and Peptostreptoco...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance and susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.
Infections due to anaerobic bacteria can be severe and life-threatening. Susceptibility testing of anaerobes is not frequently performed in laboratories, but such testing is important to direct appropriate therapy. Anaerobic resistance is increasing globally, and resistance trends vary by geographic region. An overview of a variety of susceptibility testing methods for anaerobes is provided, an...
