Antimicrobial susceptibility of Acinetobacter isolates from Groote Schuur Hospital region : an investigation of the appropriateness/validity of the NCCLS zone size criteria by Ben-Ismaeil, B I

“…Since Acinetobacter species contribute significantly to the increased morbidity and mortality of debilitated patients ( especially v entilated ICU patients, and the fact that clinicians rely on the antimicrobial susceptibility results in the management and treatment of these patients, it was felt necessary to investigate the appropriateness/validity of the NCCLS zone size criteria used to interpret the susceptibility test results of cefepime (CPIM), ceftazidime (CT AZ), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SULF A), and piperacillin-tazobactam (PIP-T AZO) against Acinetobacter spp.…”
