BSAC standardized disc susceptibility testing method (version 11).

چکیده
This article highlights key amendments incorporated into version 11 of the BSAC standardized disc susceptibility testing method, available as Supplementary data at JAC Online (http://jac.oxfordjournals.org/) and on the BSAC web site (http://bsac.org.uk/susceptibility/guidelines-standardized-disc-susceptibility-testing-method/). The basic disc susceptibility testing method remains unchanged, but there have been a number of alterations to the interpretive criteria for certain organism/drug combinations due to continuing harmonization with the EUCAST MIC breakpoints and constant efforts to improve the reliability and clinical applicability of the guidance.

Sir, Doripenem is a new carbapenem, recently licensed in the European Union for treatment of nosocomial pneumonia (including ventilator-associated pneumonia), complicated intraabdominal infections and complicated urinary tract infections. A 10 mg doripenem disc has been proposed for routine susceptibility testing. We determined provisional zone breakpoints corresponding to European Committee on...
متن کاملBSAC standardized disc susceptibility testing method (version 5).
There have been considerable changes to the format of the recommendations since the previous version (version 7). The majority of the footnotes to the tables have been removed and the notations added to the end column; it is hoped that this change will avoid confusion in interpretation. Antibiotics have been separated into groups, e.g. beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, etc. Recommendations for uri...

Sir, Reduced susceptibility of Neisseria meningitidis to penicillin (MICs 0.12 mg/L) in the UK was reported by Jones & Sutcliffe in 1990 to be at a level of 3%, comparable to that found in 1987. We have recently undertaken an in vitro study to investigate the susceptibility of meningococci from our collection of strains, to a variety of antimicrobial agents, including penicillin, using BSAC met...
