The E test was evaluated in comparison with reference agar methods (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards) for the susceptibility testing of 248 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from bladder-catheterized patients against nine antibiotics. The E-test MICs correlated well with those determined by the agar dilution and disk diffusion reference methods (88 and 92.5% within 1 log2 dilution step, respectively), confirming that the E test is a reliable method for the determination of MICs of antibiotics for catheterization-associated P. aeruginosa isolates.
对来自膀胱插管患者的248株铜绿假单胞菌分离株,采用E试验并与参考琼脂方法(美国国家临床实验室标准委员会)比较,进行了针对9种抗生素的药敏试验。E试验的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)与琼脂稀释法和纸片扩散法参考方法测定的结果相关性良好(分别在1个log2稀释步骤内为88%和92.5%),证实E试验是测定与导管相关的铜绿假单胞菌分离株抗生素MIC的可靠方法。
