چکیده
In determining the quality control limits for the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute-recommended quality control organisms with tigecycline, a number of inconsistencies in the results were encountered that appeared to be related to the age of the Mueller-Hinton broth II. This study was performed to examine the effect of medium age and supplementation with Oxyrase on the activity of tigecycline using a large number of clinical isolates.

متن کاملActivities of the glycylcycline tigecycline (GAR-936) against 1,924 recent European clinical bacterial isolates.
The in vitro activities of tigecycline against 1,924 clinical isolates were examined. The new glycylcycline exhibited excellent activity against all gram-positive cocci (MICs at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited [MIC(90)s], <or=1 microg/ml). In addition, it was also very potent against most members of the Enterobacteriaceae, with most MIC(90)s being <or=2 microg/ml. Among the nonf...
