Abstract
A comparison of rifampin susceptibility test results on 407 strains of mycobacteria using conventional medium in parallel with disk medium showed good agreement. Techniques are described for utilization of drug-impregnated disks in the preparation of medium and for a quality control screening procedure for disks.
