Quality Control MIC Ranges Used for Telavancin with Application of a Revised CLSI Reference Broth Microdilution Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The telavancin broth microdilution susceptibility testing method was revised, which provides MIC results lower than those obtained by the previous method. This study was performed to reestablish the quality control ranges for telavancin when tested against the strains (updated MIC range) Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 (0.03 to 0.12 μg/ml), Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 (0.03 to 0.12 μg/ml), and Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619 (0.004 to 0.015 μg/ml).

Background. The broth microdilution (BMD) method for telavancin (TLV) was recently revised by the FDA and CLSI. This study assessed the TLV activity using a revised BMD (rBMD) method, following the CLSI guidelines for water-insoluble agents. Polysorbate-80 was added in the test medium. This rBMDmethod was deemed necessary for greater accuracy and reproducibility of TLV MIC results. Methods. 9,6...
