evaluation of a liquid-phase colorimetric method for rapid antibacterial susceptibility testing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
background and objective: early determination of antibacterial susceptibility increases the success of therapy, decreases unnecessary use of antibacterial agents and side-effects, and lowers the overall healthcare cost. materials and methods: a rapid colorimetric method for antibacterial susceptibility testing named qui-sensitest (inovative biotechnology organization, istanbul, turkey) was evaluated in this study. results: qui-sensitest proved to be a reliable rapid test for determining antibacterial susceptibility having an overall agreement of 97.6% with kirby bauer disk diffusion test results for enteric bacteria with 0.4% of major discrepancies and 2.0% of minor discrepancy. conclusion: since the test makes the results available in 3.5-6 hours, it can provide the means for choosing the right treatment regimen the same day the infectious agent is isolated.

متن کاملRapid colorimetric assay for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
A colorimetric assay based on the reduction of a tetrazolium salt [2,3-bis[2-methyloxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT)] for rapidly determining the susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates to bactericidal antibiotics is described. There was excellent agreement between the tobramycin and ofloxacin MICs determined after 5 h using the XTT assay and after 18 h u...
متن کاملEvaluation of a scanner-assisted colorimetric MIC method for susceptibility testing of gram-negative fermentative bacteria.
We describe the ScanMIC method, a colorimetric MIC method for susceptibility testing of gram-negative fermentative bacteria. The method is a slight modification of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) recommended broth microdilution method that uses a redox indicator 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) to enhance the estimate of bacterial growth inhibition in a...
متن کاملAtp Bioluminescence Assay for Rapid Antibacterial Susceptibility Testing
We studied adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesized by bacteria in tube dilution cultures to devise a rapid antibacterial susceptibility test. The ATP level was determined with a firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferin/luciferase bioluminescence assay, which allows a direct quantifying of bacteria above 10,000 CFU/ml. At sub-MIC, total bacterial ATP levels were paralleled by increased viable bacte...
متن کاملRapid method of microbial susceptibility testing.
A rapid method of microbial susceptibility testing is described. Bacterial growth is measured by determining the incorporation of (14)C-tryptophan into cellular protein in the presence of antimicrobial drugs.
متن کاملRapid Colorimetric Testing for Pyrazinamide Susceptibility of M. tuberculosis by a PCR-Based In-Vitro Synthesized Pyrazinamidase Method
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an important first-line anti-tuberculosis drug. But PZA susceptibility test is challenging because PZA activity is optimal only in an acid environment that inhibits the growth of M. tuberculosis. For current phenotypic methods, inconsistent results between different labs have been reported. Direct sequencing of pncA gene is being considered as an accurate predictor for PZA...
