[Rapid methods in culturing nonsporulating anaerobes and determining their antibiotic sensitivity by using disks].
A review of methods for determination of sensitivity of nonsporulating anaerobic bacteria to antibacterial drugs with paper disks is presented and the prospects for using the method of cultivation in solid media in Petri dishes under a polymer film are discussed. It is shown that cultivation at a temperature of 42 degrees C for obtaining earlier results instead of the temperature of 37 degrees C usually used for cultivation has no advantages. With an account of the result variability depending on the inoculation dose and other factors it is necessary to determine the boundary values of the growth inhibition zones for resistant, moderate sensitive and sensitive strains with respect to every antibiotic.
