Abstract
ABSTRACT
In vitro susceptibilities to 28 antibiotics were determined for 11 strains of
Burkholderia mallei
by the broth microdilution method. The
B. mallei
strains demonstrated susceptibility to aminoglycosides, macrolides, quinolones, doxycycline, piperacillin, ceftazidime, and imipenem. For comparison and evaluation, 17 antibiotic susceptibilities were also determined by the E-test. E-test values were always lower than the broth dilution values. Establishing and comparing antibiotic susceptibilities of specific
B. mallei
strains will provide reference information for assessing new antibiotic agents.
