An antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) device is described. Minimum inhibitory concentration results on 1,294 clinical isolates with seven antibiotics were rapid, reliable, and reproducible. Agreement with the disk diffusion test was 90%. Interlaboratory agreement for the AST was 94%. The AST provides minimum inhibitory concentration capability without the necessity of prior weighing and dilution of antibiotics.
描述了一种抗生素敏感性测试(AST)设备。该设备对1294株临床分离株进行七种抗生素的最低抑菌浓度检测,结果快速、可靠且可重复。与纸片扩散法检测结果的一致性为90%。AST的实验室间一致性为94%。该AST无需事先称量和稀释抗生素即可提供最低抑菌浓度检测能力。
