摘要: The newly developed E test was compared with an extended 1% proportion dilution method for determining the susceptibility of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) strains to amikacin, streptomycin, fusidic acid, rifampicin, clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and fleroxacin. For all antibiotics tested except clarithromycin no more than one strain gave a different result two methods. discrepant results occurred near chosen breakpoint concentration outside range ciprofloxacin. minimum inhibitory (MIC) values obtained within antibiotic concentrations tested, there good correlation between methods; MICs differed by two-fold in per antibiotic. It is concluded that suitable testing MAC.
