Identification and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of 250 Bacteroides fragilis Subspecies Tested by Broth Microdilution Methods

Ronald N Jones *, Peter C Fuchs †
PMCID: PMC429605  PMID: 1046357

Abstract

Broth dilution antimicrobial susceptibility tests and biochemical identification of Bacteroides fragilis subspecies were performed by micromethods, yielding results within 48 to 72 h of isolation. The subspecies had similar minimal inhibitory concentration end points.
