EUCAST expert rules in antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
EUCAST expert rules have been developed to assist clinical microbiologists and describe actions to be taken in response to specific antimicrobial susceptibility test results. They include recommendations on reporting, such as inferring susceptibility to other agents from results with one, suppression of results that may be inappropriate, and editing of results from susceptible to intermediate o...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Susceptibility Testing on Milk Samples
The number of antimicrobial agents that can be applied in a routine test is limited. To make testing relevant and practical, it makes sense to include those antibiotics for which commercial preparations are available on the market. In most antibiotic groups, representative molecules can be selected with the same spectrum of activity and full cross-resistance. This approach can deliver reliable ...
متن کاملData mining validation of fluconazole breakpoints established by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing.
European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) breakpoints classify Candida strains with a fluconazole MIC < or = 2 mg/liter as susceptible, those with a fluconazole MIC of 4 mg/liter as representing intermediate susceptibility, and those with a fluconazole MIC > 4 mg/liter as resistant. Machine learning models are supported by complex statistical analyses assessing whether...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Cefoperazone
Cefoperazone is a new cephalosporin with a very wide spectrum of activity, including activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has less activity on enterococci and Acinetobacter. Of the 459 selected bacterial strains tested in this study, only 1.5% (7 strains and 6 genera) had minimum inhibitory concentrations of >128 ,ug/ml. For a minimum inhibitory concentration breakpoint of <32 p.g/ml (su...
متن کاملInstrumentation in antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
Studies in the 1960s demonstrated the problems of variability in susceptibility testing methods, especially those affecting the performance of disc diffusion procedures. These studies made apparent the need for standardization and resulted in more clearly defined performance limits for growth medium, incubation conditions, inoculum concentration, disc content for diffusion methods, the setting ...
