Quality control parameters for susceptibility tests with 30-micrograms netilmicin disks

A L Barry et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1983 Nov.

Abstract

A nine-laboratory cooperative study was performed to evaluate quality control parameters for susceptibility tests with 30-micrograms netilmicin disks. The applicability of currently recommended zone-size limits was confirmed. However, alternative statistical methods suggested that tighter control limits might be more appropriate but would require better standardization of reagents, especially Mueller-Hinton agars.
