An assessment of the Sensititre method for determining minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations.
نویسنده
چکیده
Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of various antibiotics were determined for 90 strains of five organisms by Sensititre and compared with those obtained by conventional methods. Results by both methods corrleated well. The advantages and limitations of Sensititre are discussed.

Background: German chamomile (Matricaria recotita) as a medicinal plant has several therapeutic effects. Since the extract of this plant contains a high amount of α-bisabolol (Terpenoid) its antibacterial properties can be considered. Staphylococcus aureus as a pathogenic bacterium is important in clinical situations and food hygiene. So, investigation of effects of antibacterial compounds agai...

Background & Aims : Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positivecoccal bacteriumthat that can cause a range of infections. Methicillin resistance in these bacteria is often in companion with resistance to multiple antibiotics. High prevalence of these isolates can cause treatment failure. Phosphomycin is a peptidoglycan biosynthesis inhibitor that is used in treating infections caused by multi-...

Methods: Isolates were cultured directly from porcine lung sections and positively identified as M. hyopneumoniae using an indirect-fluorescent antibody (IFA) method. A Sensititre® plate broth microdilution technique was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of each of the antimicrobials. Inocula concentrations were determined by serial tenfold dilutions of the 14 M. hy...
