Je. Hoppe et T. Paulus, COMPARISON OF 3 MEDIA FOR AGAR DILUTION SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING OF BORDETELLA-PERTUSSIS USING 6 ANTIBIOTICS, European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases, 17(6), 1998, pp. 391-393
Since antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the fastidious species B
ordetella pertussis is not standardized, the most suitable medium for
agar dilution testing of this species has not yet been determined. In
the present study, Mueller-Hinton, Bordet-Gengou, and Oxoid charcoal a
gars (each supplemented with 5% horse blood) were evaluated for agar d
ilution susceptibility testing of Bordetella pertussis against ampicil
lin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, erythromycin, and tr
imethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Mueller-Hinton agar was the most suitable
medium.
