Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Flavobacteria

Abstract: Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of 28 clinical isolates of Flavobacterium sp. were determined by standard disk diffusion technique and by antimicrobial dilution in agar. Rifampin, clindamycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, cefoxitin, and vancomycin are among the antimicrobial agents which may be clinically useful to treat infections caused by flavobacteria. All 28 isolates were resistant to erythromycin with minimal inhibitory concentrations of 32 ,tg/ml or more.Currently recommended interpretive zones … Show more

“…In addition, results of susceptibility testing vary when different methods are used. Results from disk diffusion methods may not be reliable, so broth reference quality microdilution tests should be performed when possible (1,9).…”

“…Disc diffusion method for filamentous fungi tested by using approved standard method (M38-A) developed [18] for evaluating the susceptibilities of filamentous fungi to antifungal agents. Disc diffusion method for yeasts developed by using approved standard method (M44-P) [19]. Plates inoculated with filamentous fungi as Aspergillus flavus at 25°C for 48 hours; Gram (+) bacteria as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis; Gram (-) bacteria as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeuroginosa they were incubated at 35-37°C for 24-48 hours and yeast as Candida albicans incubated at 30°C for 24-48 hours and, then the diameters of the inhibition zones were measured in millimetres [20].…”

“…On the contrary, aminoglycosides, other ␤-lactams, chloramphenicol, linezolid, and glycopeptides are not appropriate for treating infections due to this organism (8). Clinical microbiologists have two additional problems to resolve: (i) susceptibility disk diffusion testing is inaccurate for chryseobacteria (1,3) and (ii) the MIC breakpoints for these organisms have not been established by the NCCLS (11).…”
