Comparison of five methods, including the PDM Epsilometer test (E test), for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The antimicrobial susceptibilities of 100 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to six antipseudomonal antibiotics were tested by five methods: the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) methods for broth microdilution, agar dilution, and agar disk diffusion; the Vitek Automicrobic System method (Vitek Systems, Hazelwood, Mo.); and the PDM Epsilometer test (E test) (...
متن کاملReliability of Disk Diffusion Test Results for the Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Nosocomial Gram-positive Microorganisms: Is E-test Method Better?
Disk diffusion test is the usual applicable method for assessing the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in most institutions and hospitals. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of resistant-reported results of disk diffusion test for 6 routinely used antibiotics against Gram-positive microorganisms of nosocomial origin, using E-test method. Over a 1-year period, clinic...

متن کاملDetection and susceptibility testing of hypermutable Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains with the Etest and disk diffusion.
Resistance development in Pseudomonas aeruginosa from chronically colonized cystic fibrosis (CF) patients has been linked to the presence of a high proportion of mismatch repair-deficient hypermutable strains. The detection of hypermutable strains by microbiology laboratories may be useful for establishing adequate antimicrobial therapies. In this work, we find that the Etest and disk diffusion...
متن کاملCorrelation between E-test, disk diffusion, and microdilution methods for antifungal susceptibility testing of fluconazole and voriconazole.
The activities of fluconazole and voriconazole against isolates of Candida spp. (n = 400) were tested by the E-test, disk diffusion, and the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M27-A2 broth microdilution-based reference methods. More than 96% of isolates found to be susceptible to fluconazole by the reference method were identified as susceptible by the agar-based metho...
