Interaction between antibacterial agents is often assessed in chessboard titrations, in which bacteriostatic synergy is detected as a mutual reduction in the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ...
Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) can be very useful in selecting the best antimicrobial agent for a given patient with known culture and susceptibility results. However, to do so effectively, ...
A new benchtop automated reading and incubation system is now available in Europe for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). The new instrument provides microbiology laboratories with the ...
Background. Emerging data suggest that vancomycin may be less effective against serious methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ...
CFU: Colony-forming unit; CLSI: Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute; EUCAST: European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing; MEC: Minimum effective concentration; MIC: Minimum ...
Criteria for inclusion in the study were as follows: significant gram-negative bacteriuria (10 5 organisms per milliliter of urine) in several consecutive pretreatment cultures; isolation of the same ...
