Vaspar broth-disk procedure for antibiotic susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria.

S E West, T D Wilkins
PMCID: PMC283774  PMID: 7387149

Abstract

A modification of the Wilkins-Thiel broth-disk procedure for antibiotic susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria is described. This method utilizes an aerobically prepared medium overlaid with molten vaspar. Specialized anaerobic techniques or prereduced media are not required.
