Discrepancies between in vitro activity of and in vivo response to antimicrobial agents.

Abstract:

:The correlation between in vitro antimicrobial activity and the in vivo response to antimicrobial therapy is affected by multiple host factors, the site and nature of the infection, and the pharmacokinetics of the antimicrobial and its penetration into areas of infection. In certain instances, discrepancies are also caused by methodologically-related variables of in vitro susceptibility tests. Examples of discrepancies between in vitro and in vivo response to antimicrobial are discussed.

  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Optimization of the agar screen plate method.

    abstract::Swab inoculation of oxacillin agar screen plates was compared with drop inoculation for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The poor sensitivity of the swab method (59%) was related to heteroresistance of the S. aureus isolates. We recommend the drop method (100% sensitivity) because interpretati...
