High concentrations of manganese in Mueller-Hinton agar increase MICs of tigecycline determined by Etest.

چکیده
MICs of tigecycline determined by Etest were 4 to 12 times (three ATCC strains) and 2 to 8 times (50 clinical isolates) higher in Mueller-Hinton agar from Merck than in Mueller-Hinton agar from either Oxoid or Difco. This was related to a much higher concentration of manganese in the medium from Merck.

Evaluation of Etest to determine tigecycline MICs for Enterobacter species.
Tigecycline is often one of the few therapeutic options for infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, accurate MIC testing is critical. Since in many laboratories tigecycline is not included in the routine panel of antibiotics for susceptibility testing, tigecycline MICs are frequently determined by Etest. However, previous studies have shown that tigecycline MICs det...

متن کاملEffect of medium type, age and aeration on the MICs of tigecycline and classical tetracyclines.
BACKGROUND Tigecycline is a minocycline derivative, belonging to a chemical class prone to oxidation and to medium-related effects on susceptibility. We therefore studied the effect of medium type and age on the tigecycline MICs found in broth and on agar by the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute and British Society for Applied Chemotherapy methods. METHODS MICs of tigecycline, minocycli...
متن کاملSusceptibility testing of Bordetella pertussis.
Korgenski and Daly recommend charcoal horse blood agar (Regan-Lowe agar) for the detection of erythromycin resistance in Bordetella pertussis by agar dilution, Etest methodology, or agar diffusion. MICs for most isolates were #0.06 to 0.12 mg/ml by agar dilution and the Etest, while the MIC for the only resistant strain was 16 to 64 mg/ml (4). Charcoal agar may be suitable for discrimination be...
متن کاملVancomycin MICs for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates differ based upon the susceptibility test method used.
Recent studies have questioned treatment of serious methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections with vancomycin because of treatment failures, despite vancomycin MICs in the susceptible category (MIC 2 g/ml) (2, 3, 5, 6, 7). Some of these studies have used broth microdilution for determining vancomycin MICs (5), while others have used the Etest commercial product (AB Biodisk, S...
