A comparison of four susceptibility tests on Yersinia enterocolitica strains isolated from human and animal material.
The results of antibiotic sensitivity tests are presented for 20 strains of Yersinia enterocolitica from human and animal material as well as for one commercial standard strain. Results obtained with four different methods of assays were compared. One of the methods used was flow cytometric Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) assay (FC-MIC). Results of all four tests were comparable and were in range for Gentamycin sensitive strains. Problems of resistant bacterial strains in the clinical surrounding are discussed.
