E-Test as a routine MIC tool for reference work.
The usefulness of the E-Test, a method for determining minimum inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics against bacteria, in the reference work of susceptibility testing is described. Examples are given on the establishment of reference collections of bacterial strains and on quality control, areas that should also be valid for routine clinical bacteriology laboratories.
