Quality control limits for dilution and disk diffusion susceptibility tests of trovafloxacin against eight quality control strains

P C Fuchs et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1998 Feb.

Abstract

A 10-laboratory collaborative effort was designed to generate data to propose quality control limits for susceptibility tests of trovafloxacin. Broth microdilution, agar dilution, and disk diffusion tests were evaluated with eight different control strains. All tests were reproducible, and control limits are proposed.
