Agar diffusion method for the assay of colicins.
An agar diffusion method for the assay of colicins A, B, D, E(2), E(3), and K is described. The assays were performed in large, square pyrex dishes that contained an agar layer seeded with an indicator organism sensitive to the colicin. The samples were applied to the agar in steatite beads positioned in a randomized sequence. The plates were stored at 4 C for 24 hr to allow the colicins to dif...
متن کاملEffects of agars on determination of potency of polymyxin B sulfate by the agar plate diffusion method.
The effects of agars on the determination of the potency of polymyxin B sulfate by the agar plate diffusion method were investigated. The results showed that there were significant differences in the potency of polymyxin B sulfate between agars produced by different manufacturers. In order to investigate this phenomenon, two major components of polymyxin B sulfate, namely, the polymyxin B1 and ...
متن کاملImproved susceptibility disk assay method employing an agar overlay technique.
Susceptibility disks impregnated with 35 different antibiotics were assayed by the current Code of Federal Regulations method and by a new method employing an agar overlay. The new method, a simplified analytical procedure, exhibited improvement in zone definition and an increase in dose response. Assays performed by the new method were accurate and precise. The agar overlay technique appears t...
متن کاملAgar-based disk diffusion assay for susceptibility testing of dermatophytes.
Currently, no agar-based susceptibility testing method has been standardized for testing dermatophytes. We describe a newly developed agar-based method employing disk diffusion assay to test the susceptibility of 47 isolates of dermatophytes against 8 antifungals. Our results show that the method is reproducible, is simple, and could be used to determine the antifungal susceptibility of dermato...
متن کاملMicrobiological agar diffusion assay for metronidazole concentrations in serum.
An agar diffusion method using paper disks on plates seeded with Clostridium perfringens and incubated anaerobically to assay serum levels of metronidazole is described. The lowest serum metronidazole concentration that could be measured was 0.7 mug/ml, and the average error was 4% for 5 mug/ml. This assay could measure metronidazole in the presence of gentamicin or in the presence of penicilli...
