1. Association of endodontic symptoms with specific microorganisms and endotoxin from infected root canals and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of strict anerobic bacteria isolated / Relação da sintomatologia com a presença de microrganismos e endotoxinas em canais radiculares com necrose e suscetibilidade antimicrobiana de bacterias anaerobias estritas
The aim of this study was to analyse the microflora isolated from infected root canals of symptomatic or asymptomatic teeth, to quantify the presence of endotoxins; to correlate the presence of specific bacteria and the amount of endotoxins with endodontic symptomatology; and to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria isolated from in

2. Avaliação da resistencia dos microrganismos colhidos no ambiente de clinica odontologica a diferentes antibioticos
Deter a contaminação nos consultórios dentários tem sido uma tarefa muito difícil. Na maioria das vezes os microrganismos tem vencido as medidas de segurança adotadas, expondo profissionais e pacientes à situações de risco. Em escolas de Odontologia, esse risco é ainda maior, pois há dificuldades na implementação de procedimentos de controle de

3. Rapid Method of Microbial Susceptibility Testing
A rapid method of microbial susceptibility testing is described. Bacterial growth is measured by determining the incorporation of 14C-tryptophan into cellular protein in the presence of antimicrobial drugs.

4. Novel application of video image processing to biochemical and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
ALADIN (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.) is an automated instrument that uses video imaging (computer-assisted guided video camera) for the determination of biochemical and antimicrobial susceptibility test reactions. This collaborative investigation compared video-generated results obtained with ALADIN with visually determined findings. Both approaches w

5. Collaborative evaluation of the microbial profile system for quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
This three-center collaborative study was conducted to evaluate samples of the Microbial Profile System (MPS) antimicrobial microdilution panels [previously produced by Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co., (3M Co.), St. Paul, Minn. and currently produced by Flow Laboratories, Inc., Rockville, Md.). This was a three-phase study. In phase I, the inter- and in

6. Evaluation of the VITEK 2 System for Rapid Direct Identification and Susceptibility Testing of Gram-Negative Bacilli from Positive Blood Cultures
This study explores the possibility of combining the BacT/Alert Microbial Detection System with the VITEK 2 system to achieve rapid bacterial identification and susceptibility testing. Direct inoculation of bacterial suspension to the VITEK 2 ID-GNB card and AST-NO09 card was made by differential centrifugation of blood cultures of organisms with gram-negati

7. Modification of the Microtiter Technique for Antimicrobial Drug Susceptibility Testing by Incorporation of Indicators
A pH indicator and dextrose were incorporated into growth media as a modification of microbial microtiter methods for determining the minimal inhibitory concentration of antimicrobial drugs. This modified method was tested to evaluate the ease of reading end points by changes in the indicator color. Application of the procedure to two media, three indicators

8. EuroCareCF Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Microbiology of Cystic Fibrosis Isolates▿
The identification of microbial species from respiratory specimens and their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents are among the most important diagnostic measures of care for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Under the umbrella of EuroCareCF, two quality assurance trials of CF microbiology were performed in 2007 and 2008. Nine formulations with CF bacter

9. Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida Biofilms: Unique Efficacy of Amphotericin B Lipid Formulations and Echinocandins
Biofilms, likely the predominant mode of device-related microbial infection, exhibit resistance to antimicrobial agents. Evidence suggests that Candida biofilms have dramatically reduced susceptibility to antifungal drugs. We examined antifungal susceptibilities of Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis biofilms grown on a bioprosthetic model. In addition

10. The Calgary Biofilm Device: New Technology for Rapid Determination of Antibiotic Susceptibilities of Bacterial Biofilms
Determination of the MIC, based on the activities of antibiotics against planktonic bacteria, is the standard assay for antibiotic susceptibility testing. Adherent bacterial populations (biofilms) present with an innate lack of antibiotic susceptibility not seen in the same bacteria grown as planktonic populations. The Calgary Biofilm Device (CBD) is describ

11. Thirteen-Year Evolution of Azole Resistance in Yeast Isolates and Prevalence of Resistant Strains Carried by Cancer Patients at a Large Medical Center
Drug resistance is emerging in many important microbial pathogens, including Candida albicans. We performed fungal susceptibility tests with archived isolates obtained from 1984 through 1993 and fresh clinical isolates obtained from 1994 through 1997 by testing their susceptibilities to fluconazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole and compared the results to th
