title: Interpretive criteria of antimicrobial disk susceptibility tests with cefpodoxime.
abstract: The interpretation of disk susceptibility testing with 30 micrograms cefpodoxime disks was evaluated on the basis of regression line analyses and preliminary MIC breakpoints of 2 and 4 mg/l. Using the DIN-58940 method, zone diameters up to 23 mm are resistant, 24 to 26 mm moderately susceptible, and 27 mm or more susceptible. The respective data for the NCCLS method are: up to 21 mm, 22 to 23 mm, and 24 mm or more.
