In vitro comparison of disk diffusion and agar dilution antibiotic susceptibility test methods for Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
At present, most Neisseria gonorrhoeae testing is done with beta-lactamase and agar dilution tests with common therapeutic agents. Generally, in bacteriological diagnosis laboratories in Argentina, study of antibiotic susceptibility of N. gonorrhoeae is based on beta-lactamase determination and agar dilution method with common therapeutic agents. The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory S...

متن کاملAssessment of Etest as an alternative to agar dilution for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
We studied whether the Etest can be used as an alternative to agar dilution to determine antimicrobial susceptibilities of ceftriaxone, cefixime, and cefpodoxime in Neisseria gonorrhoeae surveillance. One hundred fifteen clinical and laboratory isolates of N. gonorrhoeae were tested following the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-approved CLSI standard agar dilution method and, ...
متن کاملIn vitro synergy testing of novel antimicrobial combination therapies against Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a major public health threat. Current CDC treatment guidelines for uncomplicated gonorrhoea recommend only ceftriaxone plus either azithromycin or doxycycline. Additional treatment options are needed. METHODS We used antibiotic gradient synergy testing (the Etest) to evaluate antimicrobial combinations that included a third-generatio...
متن کاملAntibiotic disk susceptibility tests with Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
We have used a standardized disk diffusion procedure to test the susceptibility of 892 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to six antibiotics. The disk diffusion test described is a modification of the disk test of Bauer, Kirby, Sherris, and Turck, which is widely used for susceptibility testing of fast-growing, aerobic pathogens. With all six antibiotics (penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, er...
