Agar diffusion tests with cefuroxime disks for predicting ceftriaxone susceptibility among isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae

Abstract: The performance of agar diffusion tests using disks of cefuroxime (30µg) for predicting ceftriaxone susceptibility in 33 isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae was studied. All 7 resistant isolates to ceftriaxone (MIC <FONT FACE="Symbol">³</FONT>1.0 µg/ml) exhibited zones of inhibition <28mm. The procedure can be easily adapted to clinical laboratories.

“…Microbiological techniques are used to evaluate the bioavailability of CFTX in biological fluids (Rebuelto et al, 2002;Ismail et al, 2005) and to study the susceptibility of several microorganisms to CFTX (Beskid et al, 1981;Eickhoff, Ehret, 1981;Baumgartner, Glauser, 1983;Emmerson et al, 1985;Dias et al, 1998).…”
