Title: Preliminary antimicrobial susceptibility interpretive criteria for cefetamet (Ro 15-8074) and cefteram (Ro 19-5247) disk tests. Author: Jones RN, Barry AL. Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1987 Sep; 25(9):1796-9. PubMed ID: 3654953. Abstract: Preliminary interpretive zone criteria were calculated for cefetamet (Ro 15-8074) and cefteram (Ro 19-5247) by using 10- and 30-micrograms disks and three possible MIC susceptibility breakpoints. Absolute interpretive agreement between MICs and zone size criteria ranged from 91.8 to 97.2%. Very major errors (false susceptibility) were less than or equal to 1.2% for both cephalosporin disk tests. Morganella morganii strains appeared to produce the highest rates of very major interpretive errors with cefetamet disks.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
