Reproducibility of disc susceptibility tests with Haemophilus influenzae.

A L Barry1, J H Jorgensen, D J Hardy.   

Abstract

Triplicate susceptibility tests were performed in each of three laboratories with 45 strains of Haemophilus influenzae and a single lot of Haemophilus test medium (HTM) agar plates. Using clarithromycin, erythromycin and chloramphenicol discs. zone sizes varied over ranges averaging only 4.3-5.8 mm. Ampicillin zone sizes were more variable, especially when beta-lactamase-producing strains were being tested, but the latter strains were consistently categorized as being resistant. A 94% interpretive consistency was observed with the two macrolides.
