Effect of refrigerated storage on cefaclor in Mueller-Hinton agar

A M Surprenant et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1985 Jan.

Abstract

Cefaclor is less stable than most cephalosporins in media at 35 degrees C. We demonstrated that the activity of cefaclor in Mueller-Hinton agar diminishes continuously at 4 degrees C, resulting in a loss of two-thirds of the activity within 21 days. We recommend that agar dilution plates for this cephalosporin be prepared on the day of their use.
