Abstract
The 30-micrograms cefprozil disk and the cephalosporin class (30-micrograms cephalothin) disk were compared for their abilities to predict cefprozil susceptibility by agar disk diffusion testing. High error (5.02% major and 14.11% minor) rates were encountered with the cephalothin disk and were most frequently observed for Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. The cefprozil disks resulted in rates of 0.05% very major, 0% major, and 3.72% minor errors. Thus, the 30-micrograms cefprozil disk is more desirable for predicting cefprozil susceptibility.
