Abstract
ABSTRACT
Susceptibility testing of
Eikenella corrodens
is usually performed by a Mueller-Hinton sheep blood agar dilution (AD) method. However, this method is impractical for testing only a few strains. We compared AD with the broth microdilution method using
Haemophilus
test medium (HTM) in order to determine the susceptibility of 36 clinical isolates of
E. corrodens
to eight antimicrobial agents. MICs obtained by the HTM method yielded 95.5 and 84% agreement (within 2 and 1 log
2
dilutions, respectively) with those obtained by AD. The HTM method with incubation in CO
2
for 48 h was highly reproducible and constitutes an easy alternative for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of
E. corrodens
.
