Abstract
Disk susceptibility tests with 30- and 75-micrograms cefpiramide disks were evaluated with 614 bacterial isolates. Quality control parameters were also evaluated, and control limits for disk tests are recommended. Tests with 75-micrograms disks are recommended, with zone size standards of greater than or equal to 19 mm for susceptible (MIC, less than or equal to 32 micrograms/ml) and less than or equal to 15 mm for resistant (MIC, greater than or equal to 128 micrograms/ml).
