title: [A micromethod of determining the sensitivity of anaerobic bacteria to antibacterial preparations].
abstract: An economic rapid 'cassette' micromethod for estimating the sensitivity of obligate anaerobes to antibiotics has been developed, applicable at clinical laboratories. The method permits simultaneous testing of a microorganism with a wide range of antibiotics and assessment of the minimal inhibiting concentration of the agent, making use of the minimized volume of the inoculum. The technique has been tried with 176 anaerobe strains isolated from maxillofacial purulent foci from 76 patients; sensitivities to 42 antibiotics and antiseptics have been tested. Parallel inoculations were carried out, as was a comparative study with the traditional serial dilutions in solid nutrient medium. The suggested method is available and rapid; the results are ready within 1-3 days.
