History and development of antimicrobial susceptibility testing methodology.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is performed daily on bacterial isolates in clinical laboratories. The techniques employed are often taken for granted. This paper traces the history and development of some methods still in common use for routine AST, e.g. disc diffusion and agar dilution. It was quickly recognized by early investigators that there were many variables affecting the re...
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 کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility testing of Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida isolated from calves with dairy calf pneumonia
This study evaluated the nasopharyngeal microbial flora and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the one hundred and thirty Holstein calves with dairy calf pneumonia from dairy farms of Mashhad Suburb between September 2002 and August 2003 . The most common micro-organisms isolated were Pasteurella multocida 80 (61.54%), Mannheimia haemolytica 41 (31.54%), Bacillus sp. 15 (11.54%), Staphy...
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 ...
متن کاملNext-generation antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
Antimicrobial resistance has emerged as one of the most-significant health care problems of the new millennium, and the clinical microbiology laboratory plays a central role in optimizing the therapeutic management of patients with infection. This minireview explores the potential value of innovative methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of microorganisms that could provide valuable ...
