Quality control guidelines for testing cefotetan in the reference agar dilution procedure for susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reference values for quality control of in vitro susceptibility tests with cefotetan against anaerobic bacteria were determined in two independent multilaboratory studies with the approved National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards agar dilution method and three control strains (Bacteroides fragilis ATCC 25285, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron ATCC 29741, and Clostridium perfringens ATCC 13124). The results of the two studies were in agreement. The recommended MIC control limits for B. fragilis ATCC 25285 and B. thetaiotaomicron ATCC 29741 are 4.0 to 16 micrograms/ml and 32 to 128 micrograms/ml, respectively. MICs for C. perfringens ATCC 13124 were too variable to be useful for controlling tests with cefotetan.

متن کاملModified agar dilution method for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.
A simplified method has been developed for agar dilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria, designed to economize on time and money when only a few isolates need to be tested. The procedure is based on the principle of using filter paper disks as carriers of the antibiotic and 35- by 10-mm petri dishes which, when inoculated with the Steers replicator, can test up to fo...
