Autobac I procedure to assess susceptibility to Cefaclor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agar dilution and Autobac I tests were performed to compare the susceptibility of 1,000 bacterial isolates to cefaclor and cephalothin. The standard Autobac methodology will correctly predict resistance to cefaclor. The test methodology seems to influence in vitro results, since more strains of gram-negative bacteria were susceptible to cefaclor by the Autobac I method than by the agar dilution test.

The Autobac I system was used to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates. The results of the Autobac I were compared with the results of the disk diffusion method. The disk diffusion susceptibility pattern showed resistance to methicillin/oxacillin, penicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, and kanamycin. All isolates were susceptible ...

A total of 319 clinical isolates were compared for amikacin susceptibility by AutoBac I and Bauer-Kirby disk diffusion methods. There was an overall agreement of 98.5% between AutoBac I and Bauer-Kirby. An additional 23 strains resistant to amikacin, obtained from Bristol Laboratories, registered a 65% overall agreement. The sensitivity readings differed between the two methods for 13 organisms...

Gram-negative bacilli were identified within 3 to 6 h by determining susceptibility to 18 different antibacterial agents in the Autobac I system and by applying a two-stage quadratic discriminant analysis to the susceptibility patterns. The Autobac system was compared with standard reference methods for identifying glucose nonfermenters and glucose fermenters. Intralaboratory and interlaborator...

Current methodology for the serum bactericidal test requires a minimum of 48 h. A procedure was devised for performing this test with the Autobac system (General Diagnostics, Div. Organon Inc., Raleigh, N.C.) in a shortened time span. All titers obtained with the Autobac were compared against results obtained with a standardized tube dilution procedure. The Autobac low-thymidine eugonic broth p...
