Preparing inoculum for susceptibility testing of anaerobes.
We studied six methods for preparation of inoculum to use in susceptibility tests of anaerobic bacteria to determine viable counts of 15 different species of anaerobes. We counted viable bacteria for each method-organism combination. Methods studied included those used for the more routine tests (broth microdilution and broth-disk elution) and for the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory ...
متن کاملInoculum standardization for antifungal susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi pathogenic for humans.
Two methods of inoculum preparation for filamentous fungi were compared: counting with a hematocytometer and spectrophotometric adjustment. One hundred eighty-two filamentous fungi pathogenic for humans were used. Colony counts were done for all inoculum preparations. The agreement between the hematocytometer counts and the colony counts (CFU per milliliter) was 97.2%. The reproducibility betwe...
متن کاملDetermination of Inoculum for Microbiological Testing
IMPORTANT POINTS The following key points are discussed: • Quality control microbiology tests require controlled levels of inocula and require fresh preparations of cells for those inocula • The concentration of cells in a suspension can be estimated by optical density, but this must be confirmed by plate count • The optical density readings against cell mass are specific to the microorganism s...
متن کاملEstablishing a method of inoculum preparation for susceptibility testing of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
A total of 92 clinical isolates of dermatophytes (52 of Trichophyton rubrum and 40 of Trichophyton mentagrophytes) were selected for testing with six antifungal drugs (terbinafine, griseofulvin, clotrimazole, miconazole, isoconazole, and fluconazole) and two pairs of drug combinations (ketoconazole-cyclopiroxolamine and itraconazole-cyclopiroxolamine). Two methods of inoculum preparation for su...
متن کاملEvaluation of a rapid inoculum preparation method for agar disk diffusion susceptibility testing.
A rapid inoculum preparation method for agar disk diffusion susceptibility testing which does not require incubation before inoculation of Mueller-Hinton plates was compared with the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) method. A total of 326 fresh clinical isolates were tested, and the NCCLS-recommended quality control organisms were included with each test series. Rand...
