To determine appropriate mupirocin susceptibility testing interpretive criteria, 177 staphylococci were tested by agar dilution, disk diffusion, and E test. E test was found to be a reliable method for determining susceptibility of staphylococci to mupirocin. The agar dilution and disk diffusion results were plotted on a scattergram, and error rates were calculated. No errors were found with susceptibility breakpoints of > or = 4 microg/ml (MIC) and > or = 14 mm (zone diameter).
为确定合适的莫匹罗星药敏试验解释标准,采用琼脂稀释法、纸片扩散法和E试验对177株葡萄球菌进行了检测。结果发现,E试验是一种可靠的检测葡萄球菌对莫匹罗星敏感性的方法。将琼脂稀释法和纸片扩散法的结果绘制在散点图上,并计算错误率。当药敏折点为≥4μg/ml(MIC)和≥14mm(抑菌圈直径)时,未发现错误。
