Quality Assurance in Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
Most of the clinically important bacteria causing infections in humans are capable of exhibit‐ ing resistance to antimicrobial agents commonly used for the treatment. Therefore, upon iso‐ lation of the organism in the clinical microbiology laboratory, characterization frequently also employs tests to detect its antimicrobial susceptibility. Thus, the report produced by clinical microbiology lab...
متن کاملQuality assurance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disc diffusion.
Quality assurance is essential to ensure the quality of antimicrobial susceptibility tests by diffusion methods. Routine internal quality control testing with a range of control strains is a major part of the quality assurance process, as it facilitates monitoring of the performance of the test. Most standardized methods include tables of acceptable zone size ranges for control strains and, in ...
متن کاملFacilitating quality control of the antimicrobial susceptibility test.
Standard reference strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were suspended in sterile deionized water and tested daily via disk agar diffusion for their antimicrobial susceptibilities. Inocula of E. coli and P. aeruginosa yielded acceptable results for up to 32 days; however, results on S. aureus were unacceptable due to loss of viability of the organism in...
متن کاملMedicines quality assurance to fight antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance is increasingly the focus of global attention. The adoption of resolution 68.7 at the 68th World Health Assembly1 was pivotal in the ongoing fight against antimicrobial resistance, as the resolution urges Member States to develop national action plans to fight antimicrobial resistance by 2017. To date, 67 Member States, out of 194, have already developed such plans, whi...
متن کاملQuality Assurance for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Canada, 2003 to 2012.
Data from the Canadian National Gonococcal Antimicrobial Susceptibility Comparison Program, including results from 25 proficiency panels distributed between 2003 and 2012, were analyzed. The average MIC agreement between the participating laboratories ranged from 85.6% to 98.8% over the 10-year period, with the interpretation agreement ranging from 85.7% to 98.1%.
