Vaspar broth-disk procedure for antibiotic susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A modification of the Wilkins-Thiel broth-disk procedure for antibiotic susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria is described. This method utilizes an aerobically prepared medium overlaid with molten vaspar. Specialized anaerobic techniques or prereduced media are not required.

Modified broth-disk method for testing the antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
The most commonly used method for testing the antibiotic susceptibility of aerobic and facultative bacteria is the disk diffusion method. However, some anaerobic bacteria do not grow well enough in anaerobic jars for performance of disk diffusion tests. A modification of the broth-disk method of Schneierson allowed us to determine antibiotic susceptibility in a completely anaerobic environment....
متن کاملPractical anaerobic broth-disk elution susceptibility test.
A modified broth-disk elution method for routine susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria was compared with the proposed reference agar dilution method under study by the National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards. The broth-disk elution method used a 24-h test incubation period, Schaedler broth medium supplemented with menadione, and GasPak (BBL Microbiology Systems) incubation. R...
متن کاملEvaluation of the modified broth-disk method for determining antibiotic susceptibilities of anaerobic bacteria.
A total of 110 strains of anaerobic bacteria including 9 different genera was tested for antibiotic susceptibility by the modified broth-disk method of Wilkins and Thiel (1973), using prereduced media and the VPI anaerobic culture system. Results were compared with those obtained with an agar dilution technique with incubation in a GasPak jar. There was greater than 95% agreement between the tw...
متن کاملMicro-Media Systems anaerobe panel versus broth disk method in anaerobe antimicrobial testing.
Frozen microtitration trays manufactured by Micro-Media Systems (MMS) for antimicrobial testing of anaerobic bacteria were evaluated and compared with the broth disk elution method of Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI) described by Wilkins and Thiel. A total of 224 clinical anaerobic isolates were tested. Susceptibility results were compared for carbenicillin, cefoxitin, chloramphenicol, clin...
متن کاملCefotetan Susceptibility Testing Against Anaerobic Bacteria From Obstetrical and Gynecologic Sources: Comparison of Five Different Methods
Five different antibiotic susceptibility methods were utilized to test the effectiveness of cefotetan against 200 anaerobic bacteria recovered from patients with obstetrical or gynecological infections. The object of this study was to determine if a more economical and rapid method for anaerobic susceptibility testing was as acceptable as the reference agar dilution method. The five methods wer...
