Reducing inter-operator variation in disc diffusion assays by the inclusion of internal controls in a standard susceptibility test protocol

2008-12-01

Abstract excerpt

A series of experiments were performed to investigate the impact of the inclusion of internal controls on the inter-operator precision of disc diffusion assays. The susceptibilities of 98 strains of Aeromonas salmonicida to florfenicol were determined by ten untrained operators using two disc diffusion test protocols. One was the Clinical Laboratory and Standard Institute's M42-A protocol which, in its quality con...
