Journal ArticleDOI

Susceptibility of Anaerobic Bacteria to 23 Antimicrobial Agents

TL;DR: The antimicrobial susceptibility of 492 anaerobic bacteria, the majority of which were recent clinical isolates, was determined by the agar dilution technique and most of the groups of bacteria tested demonstrated a trend toward resistance to tetracycline.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic disc susceptibility tests for rapid presumptive identification of Gram-negative anaerobic bacilli.

TL;DR: The susceptibility tests are rapid and simple to perform and are helpful in characterizing gram-negative anaerobic bacilli and are not intended for use in predicting clinical effectiveness of the drugs utilized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Standardized antimicrobial disc susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria. I. Susceptibility of Bacteroides fragilis to tetracycline.

TL;DR: A modified Bauer-Kirby-Sherris-Turck method for disc susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria is presented and the minimal inhibitory concentration for the strains determined by the agar dilution technique correlated well with the results of disc tests performed in the GasPak atmosphere with 30-mug tetracycline discs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacteremia after genitourinary tract manipulation: bacteriological aspects and evaluation of various blood culture systems.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented which indicates that the prostate gland and the normal urethral flora are other significant sources of bacteremia, and an osmotically stabilized anaerobic broth with sodium polyanethol sulfonate (Liquoid) yielded more positive blood cultures than any other culture system and was also the best system by far for recovery of anaerobes.
