Abstract
A strain of Eubacterium lentum (ATCC 43055) was selected for quality control of anaerobic susceptibility tests. Multilaboratory collaborative studies with 13 different antimicrobial agents were reviewed, and MIC control limits were proposed for agar dilution tests with the new control strain.
