RESUMO
The possible introduction of error into Staphylococcus aureus oxacillin intrinsic persister measurements by the agar dilution plate-count method resulting from technical factor variations associated with inoculum preparation was investigated. pH stability and exponential growth were shown to be present at the time of inoculum standardization. The use of glass or plastic tubes and the contamination of tube walls during inoculum broth culture produced no differences in test results. For S. aureus and oxacillin, the agar dilution plate-count method is a new and reliable approach to the quantitative study of bacterial inhibition and killing.
