RESUMO
Anderson Technical, Inc. has developed rapid, semiautomated equipment for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. A total of 310 fresh clinical bacterial isolates (226 gram-negative and 75 gram-positive) were tested with the Anderson Technical system and compared with those of Micro-Media Systems, Inc. For the gram-positive organisms, 74.3% of the test pairs had identical minimum inhibitory concentration values, whereas 99.1 and 0.9% of the test pairs had minimal inhibitory concentration values differing by less than or equal to 1 and greater than 1 dilution level, respectively. Identical minimum inhibitory concentration values were obtained for 67.2% of the gram-negative test pairs, whereas 97.6 and 2.4% differed by less than or equal to 1 and greater than 1 dilution level, respectively. For all organisms tested, 98.0% differed by less than or equal to 1 dilution level. The Anderson Technical equipment proved to be a rapid and flexible system for microdilution testing.
