Microdilution aminoglycoside susceptibility testing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli with a cation-supplemented inoculum.

J E Cherne, L R Peterson
PMCID: PMC283967  PMID: 6774664

Abstract

The use of cation supplementation in aminoglycoside susceptibility testing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by microdilution produced MIC agreement (+/- one doubling dilution) with agar dilution testing 89% of the time as compared with 35% of the time with unsupplemented controls.
