The increasing incidence of resistance to the antifungal agent, fluconazole, prompted the need for a rapid, reliable and easy-to-use susceptibility test. We have developed a disc diffusion test for fluconazole against Candida spp. suitable for a clinical laboratory. Disc diffusion tests on six different media were compared with MIC values. On the basis of correlation coefficient with MICs (r = ...

متن کاملHelicobacter pylori susceptibility testing by disc diffusion.
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori is found in c. 40% of the population and is responsible for the development of duodenal disease. Triple treatment with a proton-pump inhibitor or bismuth salt plus two antibiotics is now commonplace in all patients diagnosed. As antibiotic resistance reduces treatment efficacy, it is time to consider routine susceptibility testing to guide individual patient tr...
متن کاملDoes routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values improve their accuracy?
Background: Routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values is very common these days to increase their accuracy and to avoid reporting false or infeasible results. We figure that repeat testing of critical laboratory values has any benefits or not. Methods : We examined 2233 repeated critical laboratory values in 13 different hematology and chemistry tests including: hemoglobin, white...
