An average of 358 (13%) of United Kingdom laboratories failed to detect resistance to chloramphenicol in strains of Haemophilus influenzae distributed by the United Kingdom National External Quality Assessment Scheme for Microbiology. Clear associations between methods used and results obtained show that error rates are minimised by the use of low content (10 micrograms) disc and a sensitive control strain of H influenzae.
在英国国家微生物学外部质量评估计划分发的流感嗜血杆菌菌株中,英国实验室平均有358家(占13%)未能检测出对氯霉素的耐药性。所使用的方法与所得结果之间存在明显关联,这表明使用低含量(10微克)纸片和敏感的流感嗜血杆菌对照菌株可将错误率降至最低。
