The antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the isolates was determined by the disk agar diffusion method on Muller Hinton agar (Merck, Germany) according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines21. The antibiotics included piperacillin (100 µg), piperacillin-tazobactam (100/10 µg), imipenem (10 µg), meropenem (10 µg), doripenem (10 µg), ciprofloxacin (5 µg), levofloxacin (5 µg), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (1.25-23.75 µg), ceftazidime (30 µg), cefotaxime (30 µg), and cefepime (30 µg) (MAST Co., England). The susceptibility pattern of the isolates against aminoglycosides including kanamycin, amikacin, spectinomycin, netilmicin, gentamicin, streptomycin, and tobramycin was determined using the micro-broth dilution method according to the CLSI guidelines21. For interpretation of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values, we referred to the CLSI guidelines and previous studies1,21,22. Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and A. baumannii ATCC 19606 were used as control strains for antibiotic susceptibility testing.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing for Bacterial Isolates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for the bacterial isolates was carried out using the Kirby-Bauer method, as recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). 15 The following antibiotics were tested: imipenem (10 μg), meropenem (10 μg), doripenem (10 μg), ceftazidime (30 μg), cefepime (30 μg), piperacillin (100 μg), piperacillin/tazobactam (100/10 μg), gentamicin (10 μg), amikacin (30 μg), tobramycin (10 μg), ciprofloxacin (5 μg), aztreonam (30 μg), polymyxin B (300 units), and colistin (10 μg) (Mast Group Ltd, UK). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of carbapenems (imipenem [IMI], meropenem [MRP], and doripenem [DOR]) were obtained by an E-test (Liofilchem, Italy), as described in the manufacturer's instructions. Carbapenem resistance was determined based on the MIC breakpoints. When an isolate was resistant to three carbapenems (imipenem, meropenem, and doripenem), that isolate was considered high-level carbapenem resistant. If an isolate was resistant to three or more classes of antimicrobial agents (i.e., penicillins/cephalosporins, carbapenems, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones), that isolate was considered multidrug resistant (MDR). In accordance with the CLSI guidelines, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 were used as control strains in all susceptibility assays.

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.
