  • Title: [Evaluation of a rapid technique for antibiotic sensitivity testing using an MS-2 automate and blood culture medium].
    Author: Flandrois JP, Carret G, Chomarat M.
    Journal: Ann Biol Clin (Paris); 1981; 39(5):285-8. PubMed ID: 7316253.
    Abstract:
    The authors propose a rapid method for studying antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria isolated from blood cultures. An MS-2 automate is used directly with bacteria collected after centrifugation. With the exception of the sensitivity of Gram-positive cocci to the combination of sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprime and to Penicillin G and of Gram-negative bacillus to beta lactamines, the results were comparable to those obtained after isolation of bacteria on gel medium. Various causes for error are discussed.
