[Comparison of the Sensititre diagnostic system and the Bauer-Kirby test of sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents in agar, on bacterial strains isolated from urinary infections].
The in vitro activity of nine antibiotics was tested against 50 bacterial strains isolated from urinary tract infections. The two methods showed a considerable percentage of diversity in an evaluation of their agreement. The Sensititre analytical method for the determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations is regarded as reliable and more useful to determine looked therapy. The authors suggest that the Sensititre system will be accepted in routine work.
