Abstract
New Clinical Strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with Decreased Susceptibility to Ceftriaxone, Japan.
Highlights
Disk diffusion (EUCAST standardised disk diffusion method) Medium: Mueller-Hinton agar Inoculum: McFarland 0.5 Incubation: Air, 35±1oC, 18±2h Reading: Read zone edges as the point showing no growth viewed from the back of the plate against a dark background illuminated with reflected light
Disk diffusion (EUCAST standardised disk diffusion method) Medium: Mueller-Hinton agar Inoculum: McFarland 0.5 Incubation: Air, 35±1oC, 18±2h Reading: Read zone edges from the back of the plate against a dark background illuminated with reflected light
For staphylococci other than S. aureus, S. lugdunensis and S. saprophyticus the cefoxitin MIC is a poorer predictor of methicillin resistance than the disk diffusion test. 5/B
