[Validity of the antibiotic sensitivity test with a semi-automatic determination method].

The sensitivity of bacteria to chemioantibiotics has been compared with a semiautomatic technique and with the agar diffusion method of Kirby-Bauer a mass total of 400 bacterial strains of gram-negative bacilli, of gram-negative bacilli from urinary tract infections, of stafilococci and enterococci. The percentages of accordance between two methods in the almost totality of the chemioantibiotics have been considerable. The AA. agree about the sensitivity and repeat practical function of the new method particulary utilizable for hospital routine.
