A New Twist to the Kirby-Bauer Antibiotic Susceptibility Test Activity—Increasing Antibiotic Sensitivity of Pseudomonas fluorescens through Thermal Stress
INTRODUCTION Antibiotic sensitivity and the effect of temperature on microbial growth are two standard laboratory activities found in most microbial laboratory manuals. We have found a novel way to combine the two activities to demonstrate how temperature can influence antibiotic sensitivity using a standard incubator in instructional laboratory settings. This activity reinforces the important ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing by the disc diffusion method is discussed with emphasis on the need for standardization of methodology. The KirbyBauer method is currently widely used by clinical laboratories and best incor porates many of the features recommended by the World Health Organization. It is relatively simple from a technicological standpoint and accurate and reproducible so lo...
متن کاملRapid, modified Kirby-Bauer susceptibility test with single, high-concentration antimicrobial disks.
A rapid (6-7 hr), modified Kirby-Bauer disk-susceptibility method, by which derivatives of tetrazolium dyes are used to enhance delineation between areas of growth and zones of inhibition, has been developed. Inoculated petri plates, prepared by the Kirby-Bauer method, were sprayed, after 6 to 7 hr of incubation (37 C), with aqueous solutions of MTT-tetrazolium or INT-tetrazolium resulting in r...
متن کاملMethods of measuring zones of inhibition with the Bauer-Kirby disk susceptibility test.
Standard Bauer-Kirby disk tests were performed with 85 selected isolates, each tested in triplicate by four different investigators. Each disk test was observed, and zone diameters were measured, under two lighting conditions (transmitted light and reflected light). The two lighting systems produced similar zone measurements (+/-2 mm) with 96% of the tests. When there were greater differences, ...
متن کاملScreening for cephalosporin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae with the Kirby-Bauer disk susceptibility test.
Kirby-Bauer disk susceptibility tests with five standard cephalosporin disks were performed on 23 penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates for which ceftriaxone MICs were 0.125 to 4 micrograms/ml. Cefuroxime disk inhibition zone diameters distinguished clearly isolates for which ceftriaxone MICs were > or = 2 micrograms/ml from more susceptible strains, whereas cephalothin, ceftiz...
