Detection and Investigation of Eagle Effect Resistance to Vancomycin in Clostridium difficile With an ATP-Bioluminescence Assay
2 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Vancomycin was bactericidal against Clostridium difficile at 8-fold the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) using a traditional minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assay. However, at higher concentrations up to 64 MIC, vancomycin displayed a paradoxical ‘more-drug-kills-less’ Eagle effect against C. difficile. To overcome challenges associated with performing the labor-intensive agar-based MBC method...
