Abstract
MICs of antibiotics against Bilophila wadsworthia isolates were measur ed by agar and broth microdilution with pyruvic acid and by Etest. The inoculum size influenced greatly agar dilution. Despite discrepancies in MICs depending on the measurement method used, clindamycin consist ently showed potent activity. Broth microdilution and Etest appear to be candidates for laboratory susceptibility testing.
