The development of the BSAC standardized method of disc diffusion testing

1 Jul 2001

Abstract excerpt

The BSAC Working Party on Susceptibility Testing has developed a standardized method of disc susceptibility testing that has been 'field tested' in 19 diagnostic laboratories in the UK and Ireland. The method employs semi-defined media, a semi-confluent inoculum and relates zones of inhibition with BSAC-specified MIC breakpoints to interpret susceptibility. The bacteria selected for the trial included clinical...
