Susceptibility of Polish Bartonella henselae strains.
Due to the fastidious nature of B. henselae and the limited number of available isolates worldwide, there are few data on its in vitro susceptibility to antibiotics. We determined the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of ten antimicrobial agents against 11 feline isolates of B. henselae by Etest method. The lowest MICs were obtained for rifampicin < or = 0.002 mg/L. MICs of all isolates w...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Bartonella species to 17 antimicrobial compounds: comparison of Etest and agar dilution.
OBJECTIVES In vitro susceptibility testing of 31 Bartonella spp. strains including 21 Bartonella henselae isolates was performed for 17 antimicrobial agents (telithromycin, four macrolides, five fluoroquinolones, five aminoglycosides, doxycycline and rifampicin). METHODS MICs were determined by agar dilution and Etest using chocolate agar containing 5% defibrinated sheep blood as assay medium...
متن کاملComparison of the Etest with agar dilution for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Haemophilus ducreyi.
Two methods for determining the sensitivity of Haemophilus ducreyi to antimicrobial agents were compared; an agar dilution method and the Etest. The MICs of seven antimicrobial agents; penicillin V, ampicillin, trimethoprim, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin were determined for 20 strains of H. ducreyi. The MICs determined with the Etest and with the agar dilution me...
متن کاملComparison of the Etest and agar dilution for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Campylobacter.
The performance of the Etest and agar dilution for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Campylobacter spp. was evaluated using a quality control strain Campylobactor jejuni ATCC 33560, and 81 C. jejuni and 54 Campylobacter coli isolates recovered from retail raw meats. Seven antimicrobial agents: chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, erythromycin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid and tetra...
متن کاملComparison of Etest method with reference broth microdilution method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Yersinia pestis.
The utility of Etest for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Yersinia pestis was evaluated in comparison with broth microdilution and disk diffusion for eight agents. Four laboratories tested 26 diverse strains and found Etest to be reliable for testing antimicrobial agents used to treat Y. pestis, except for chloramphenicol and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Disk diffusion testing is not r...
