Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic susceptibility testing by a standardized single disk method.
TL;DR: Recommendations of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards continue to be based on this publication; the “Kirby-Bauer” method is, among the many disk methods used in other countries, still the one that has been researched most thoroughly and updated continuously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing
Kenneth J. Ryan,John C. Sherris +1 more
TL;DR: This review emphasizes the continued efforts toward standardization of methods for dilution and diffusion testing, particularly in the area of variation in medium performance, methods for detection of ampicillin resistant Haemophilus influenzae, and attempts to develop rapid automated systems for susceptibility testing.
Book
Sherris medical microbiology : an introduction to infectious diseases
TL;DR: The new edition of the popular Sherris Medical Microbiology is a refreshing and manageable entry into competition with larger, more complete, and better-referenced books in this field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability of the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method for detecting methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus.
TL;DR: Stability of these antibiotic-containing discs was studied under conditions of temperature and humidity variation that might be encountered in a clinical laboratory refrigerator, and oxacillin discs were the most stable and are to be preferred for susceptibility testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory Evaluation of a Rapid, Automated Susceptibility Testing System: Report of a Collaborative Study
Clyde Thornsberry,T L Gavan,John C. Sherris,Albert Balows,John M. Matsen,L. D. Sabath,Fritz D. Schoenknecht,Lauri Thrupp,John A. Washington +8 more
TL;DR: The results obtained with this assay system were compared to those obtained by the standardized Bauer-Kirby disk diffusion test, and each of these two methods was compared to the agar dilution technique as discussed by the authors.
