  • Title: [Standardization of the methods of determining microorganism sensitivity to antibiotics. The importance of the method of interpreting the results in determining microorganism sensitivity to antibiotics].
    Author: Givental' NI, Ved'mina EA, Sobolev VR.
    Journal: Antibiotiki; 1978 Aug; 23(8):705-10. PubMed ID: 686694.
    Abstract:
    The significance of the methods of the data interpretation for determination of the microbial sensitivity to antibiotics is discussed. A necessity for using semi-quantitative or quantitative systems of calculation instead of qualitative interpretation of the inhibition growth zone diameters is presented. It is shown that the use of the standard nutrient medium for determination of the antibiotic sensitivity in the laboratory practice may be a base for applying the methods of interpretation of the diffusion test data.
