Effect of incubation conditions on anaerobic susceptibility testing results.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We determined the effect of performing antimicrobial susceptibility tests in five different anaerobic incubation systems: GasPak jar, large GasPak jar, evacuated-gassed anaerobic jar, anaerobic chamber, and Bio-Bag. Growth of the anaerobes was equivalent in all five incubation systems. The results of testing 38 anaerobes against 11 antimicrobial agents were comparable for the anaerobic jars and anaerobic chamber. However, discordant results were observed for metronidazole and cefamandole tests when incubated in the Bio-Bag.

Practical 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 کاملSimplified method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.
A simple, abbreviated broth dilution test (tube test) utilizing a commercially available medium and inexpensive disposable materials, and which could be performed entirely in room air, was developed and used to test the susceptibility of 100 strains of anaerobic bacteria to clindamycin, chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and tetracycline. Results are reported in categories of susceptibility: suscepti...

Background: Trichomoniasis is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. Metronidazole (MTZ), a 5-nitroimidazole derivative, is the main antitrichomonal agent of choice for the treatment of trichomoniasis. Since 1962, some cases of treatment failure with metronidazole have been reported, and the increased resistance of the para...
متن کاملStandardized antimicrobial disc susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria. I. Susceptibility of Bacteroides fragilis to tetracycline.
A modified Bauer-Kirby-Sherris-Turck method for disc susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria is presented. When tetracycline was used against 100 strains of Bacteroides fragilis as a model, reasonably reproducible results were obtained after overnight incubation in both the GasPak atmosphere and an atmosphere achieved by adding 10% CO(2) to a mixture of 10% H(2) and 90% N(2). The minimal i...
