Antibiotic Susceptibility of E. coli and Klebsiella

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sensitivity of E. coli and Klebsiella isolates to antibiotics of Gentamicin, Ciprofloxacin, Cotrimoxazole, Clavulanate/amoxicillin, Imipenem, Piperacillin, Cefepime, Ceftazidime, and Cefotaxime was measured by the disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer) according to CLSI protocols, using bacterial suspension with a dilution equivalent to opacity of half pipe McFarland and the solid medium of Muller-Hinton (Merck Company, Germany). For this purpose, a bacterial suspension with a dilution equivalent to opacity of half pipe McFarland was prepared (1.5×108 bacteria). Then, the suspension was inoculated on the plates containing Müller-Hinton agar medium and cultured with GRASS method. Antibiotics disks were put on the medium using sterile forceps, as they had a distance of 20 mm from each other and 15 mm from the wall of plate. The plates were incubated for 18 hours at a temperature of 37°C. After the incubation period, the diameter of areola related to lack of bacterial growth around the disc, was measured using a ruler (in mm) and compared to the table provided in CLSI protocols and then sensitivity (s), intermediate (I), and resistant (R) were qualitatively reported. All tests were performed on the standard strain of E. coli ATCC25922 as the control.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing by Disk Diffusion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method on Muller-Hinton (Merck, Germany) agar according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline (17 (link)). Briefly, a suspension of each isolates was adjusted to a turbidity equivalent to 0.5 McFarland and inoculated on Muller-Hinton agar plate. The tested antimicrobial agents were as follows: piperacillin (100 μg), ceftazidime (30 μg), meropenem (10 μg), imipenem (10 μg), gentamicin (10 μg), amikacin (30 μg), ofloxacin (30 μg), cefotaxime (30 μg), colistin (10 μg), ciprofloxacin (5 μg), tetracycline (75 μg) and aztreonam (30 μg) (MAST, Group Ltd, Merseyside, UK) (8 (link), 13 (link)). E. coli ATCC 25922 and P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 were used as standards in disk diffusion. The plates were incubated overnight at 35°C and the results were interpreted as susceptible, intermediate or resistant according to the criteria recommended by the CLSI (2 (link)). MDR isolates were defined if they showed simultaneous resistance to one agent from three antibiotics group (18 (link)).

Bacterial Plasmid DNA Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cecal sample (0.01 g) was mixed with 0.1 mL of 0.85% NaCl. The 0.1 mL mix was spread on a non-selective Muller-Hinton (Merck) agar plate and incubated overnight at 37°C. All bacterial growth on the plate was scraped off, inoculated into 6 mL of Muller-Hinton broth and incubated overnight at 37°C with shaking at 225 rpm. Plasmid DNA was extracted from this bacterial culture using the Macherey-Nagel NucleoSpin Plasmid Kit according to the manufacturer's guidelines. The resulting DNA samples were visualized on a 1% agarose gel stained with GelRed (Biotium) and run at 70 volts (V) for 60 minutes (min).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
