Micobacterias atípicas identificadas en Asturias (2005-2012). Evaluación del método de gradiente antibiótico Etest para la realización de las pruebas de sensibilidad
… M. kansasii y rifampicina, la concordancia entre Etest, microdilución y método de las proporciones fue prácticamente total, tanto por criterios cualitativos (sensible vs. resistente) como cuantitativos. En cuanto a M. kansasii e isoniazida, la concordancia entre Etest y método de las proporciones …

Signal Transduction and Transcriptional Regulation Pathways Essential for Azole Resistance in Candida albicans
… and a clear zone of inhibition when subjected to Etest. Time-kill analysis showed increased azole activity against upc2Δ/Δ compared to SC5314. UPC2 disruption in strains carrying specific resistance mutations also resulted in reduced MICs and MFCs. UPC2 disruption in a highly azole-resistant …

Macrolide and lincosamide resistance patterns in invasive and colonizing group B streptococcus isolated in Belgium
… erythromycin and clindamycin were determined by Etest® (EUCAST interpretive criteria) on 275 clinical isolates (N1) obtained from the Belgian surveillance for invasive GBS disease in newborns and adults during 2008 to 2011 and on 53 recto-vaginal colonization in pregnant women (N2) in 2010. …

Development and application of Helicobacter pylori surveillance to improve antimicrobial treatment
… This study would recommend the use of Etest strips on 10% Mueller-Hinton blood agar, incubated microaerophilically at 37°C for 48 h. Comparison of detection methods for 23Sr rDNA mutations associated with H. pylori clarithromycin resistance showed a novel 3’-mismatched reverse primer …

A clinical and molecular analysis of Clostridium difficile strains isolated from Groote Schuur Hospital
… and erythromycin (ERY) were determined by the Etest method. All were sensitive to MET and VAN; however, four ribotype 017 strains displayed reduced susceptibility to MET. With regard to MOX, reduced susceptibly and full resistance were observed in 32% and 12% of the isolates, respectively, with …

Phenotypic and molecular antifungal susceptibility testing of yeast isolates from Pretoria
… of 87 isolates was determined by the Etest for three azole antifungals (fluconazole, posaconazole and voriconazole), amphotericin B and caspofungin. Clinical breakpoint susceptibility was determined according to the CLSI clinical breakpoint reference methods. Polymerase chain reaction …

Characterisation of vaginal Prevotella strains from a cohort of South African adolescent girls and young women with and without bacterial women with and without bacterial vaginosis
… including antimicrobial resistance testing by Etest methodology, and quantification of biofilm formation by crystal violet staining. South African Prevotella isolates displayed 2.7% and 8.3% resistance to metronidazole and clindamycin, respectively, with higher rates of resistance against …

Novel Determinants That Influence Azole Susceptibility in Candida glabrata and Candida albicans
… with minor modifications and confirmed with Etest strips. Of the single transporter deletion strains, only <em>CDR1 </em>deletion resulted in decreased azole MIC. Deletion of <em>PDH1 </em>in combination with <em>CDR1 </em>resulted in a moderate decrease in MIC from that observed with …
