title: [Evaluation of a rapid technique for antibiotic sensitivity testing using an MS-2 automate and blood culture medium].
abstract: The authors propose a rapid method for studying antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria isolated from blood cultures. An MS-2 automate is used directly with bacteria collected after centrifugation. With the exception of the sensitivity of Gram-positive cocci to the combination of sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprime and to Penicillin G and of Gram-negative bacillus to beta lactamines, the results were comparable to those obtained after isolation of bacteria on gel medium. Various causes for error are discussed.
