Oxacillin disk diffusion testing for the prediction of penicillin resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Oxacillin disk diffusion testing for the prediction of penicillin resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae

ABSTRACT Objective To 1) describe the correlation between the zones of inhibition in 1-µg oxacillin disk diffusion (ODD) tests and penicillin and ceftriaxone minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of meningeal and non-meningeal strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and 2) evaluate the usefulness of...
