Temafloxacin disk potency and tentative interpretive criteria for susceptibility tests.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Temafloxacin disk susceptibility test criteria were evaluated by testing 697 bacterial isolates. Either 5- or 10-micrograms disks could be used satisfactorily. A 5-micrograms temafloxacin disk with zone size breakpoints of less than or equal to 12 mm for resistance (MIC, greater than 4.0 micrograms/ml) and greater than 16 mm for susceptibility (MIC, less than or equal to 2.0 micrograms/ml) is recommended.

Disk diffusion test interpretive criteria and quality control recommendations for testing linezolid (U-100766) and eperezolid (U-100592) with commercially prepared reagents.
Two new oxazolidinones were tested to determine interpretive susceptibility testing criteria for MIC and disk diffusion methods. Commercial lots of linezolid (formerly U-100766) and eperezolid (formerly U-100592) disks containing 30 microg of drug were tested against 728 isolates of bacteria with defined mechanisms of resistance. Results from linezolid were highlighted because of its choice for...
متن کاملReassessment of susceptibility test interpretive criteria for ticarcillin and ticarcillin-clavulanic acid.
There are at least four different existing or proposed interpretive criteria for the disk diffusion susceptibility testing of ticarcillin and ticarcillin plus clavulanic acid (T/C). To assess these criteria, 570 gram-negative bacillary isolates were tested for susceptibility to ticarcillin and T/C by both disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods. These included 53 strains of the family En...
متن کاملTentative disk diffusion susceptibility interpretive criteria for pefloxacin.
Standardized broth microdilution and disk diffusion susceptibility tests for pefloxacin were performed on 585 clinical isolates. The 5-micrograms pefloxacin disk is recommended, and the following breakpoints are proposed: susceptible, greater than or equal to 19 mm (MIC, less than or equal to 2.0 micrograms/ml); resistant, less than or equal to 15 mm (MIC, greater than 4.0 micrograms/ml); and i...
متن کاملIn vitro evaluation of Augmentin by broth microdilution and disk diffusion susceptibility testing: regression analysis, tentative interpretive criteria, and quality control limits.
Augmentin (Beecham Laboratories, Bristol, Tenn.), a combination drug consisting of two parts amoxicillin to one part clavulanic acid and a potent beta-lactamase inhibitor, was evaluated in vitro in comparison with ampicillin or amoxicillin or both for its inhibitory and bactericidal activities against selected clinical isolates. Regression analysis was performed and tentative disk diffusion sus...
متن کاملDisk diffusion susceptibility testing of ticarcillin plus clavulanic acid.
Disk diffusion susceptibility testing of ticarcillin plus the beta-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid was performed on 489 clinical isolates, and the results were compared with reference broth microdilution susceptibilities. Four different disks containing 75 micrograms of ticarcillin plus 2.5, 5, 10, and 15 micrograms of clavulanic acid were evaluated. Based on test performance and clavulanic...
