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 کاملComparison of Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute standards in antimicrobial susceptibility among the carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae
Aim Carbapenems are antibiotics reserved for treatment of severe infections. Carbapenem antimicrobial susceptibility testing profiles were determined in a population of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and their resistance assessed based on previous and current Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute criteria. Materials & methods Isolates were examined using an automated antimicrobial susceptibilit...
متن کاملTesting antimicrobial susceptibilities of adherent bacteria by a method that incorporates guidelines of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards.
Membrane filters (0.22-microns pore size) were colonized with 10(4) CFU of logarithmic-phase bacteria per filter under laminar flow conditions in a Modified Robbins Device. Colonized filters were then placed upon agar dilution plates for MIC determinations. Subsequently, filters were transferred to control plates and incubated to obtain MBCs.
متن کاملComparison of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Breakpoints for β-Lactams in Enterobacteriaceae Producing Extended-Spectrumβ-Lactamases and/or Plasmid-Mediated AmpCβ-Lactamases
Background: In 2010, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) revised breakpoints for cephalosporins and carbapenems and indicated that extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) testing is no longer necessary for Enterobacteriaceae. We compared the results of the CLSI 2010 and the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) MIC breakpoints for Enterobacteriaceae...
متن کاملEvaluation by data mining techniques of fluconazole breakpoints established by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and comparison with those of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST).
The EUCAST and the CLSI have established different breakpoints for fluconazole and Candida spp. However, the reference methodologies employed to obtain the MICs provide similar results. The aim of this work was to apply supervised classification algorithms to analyze the clinical data used by the CLSI to establish fluconazole breakpoints for Candida infections and to compare these data with the...
