Susceptibility profiles of anaerobes to antimicrobials have become unpredictable, thus reliable and user-friendly methods for routine susceptibility testing are increasingly needed. The MICRONAUT-S ...
The University of Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (UKVDL) recently announced the availability of a new antibiotic susceptibility method (Broth Microdilution Method), which provides ...
The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay uses agar or broth dilution methods to measure, under defined test conditions, the lowest effective concentration of an antimicrobial agent that ...
Among the many factors attributed to the rise of antibiotic resistance, prescription of antibiotics without susceptibility testing (AST) is the primary and the most alarming one 1. In countries like ...
Until now, broth microdilution (BMD) remained the gold standard for testing colistin susceptibility. However, BMD is a labour-intensive method and not practical for routine use in many laboratories, ...
