The MICs of seven antimicrobial agents; penicillin V, ampicillin, trimethoprim, tetracycline, chloram-phenicol, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin were determined for 20 strains of H. ducreyi. The MICs determined with the Etest and with the agar dilution method, showed 86% agreement within one two-fold dilution. The Etest is a good alternative method to the agar dilution technique for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of H. ducreyi. Owing to its simplicity and good reproducibility, the test is well suited for routine use in clinical microbiology laboratories in developing countries. © 1996 by the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Brief reports nationallicence Lagergård Teresa Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Gothenburg University, Guldhedsgatan 10 A, S-413 46 Gothenburg, Sweden Frisk Anders Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Gothenburg University, Guldhedsgatan 10 A, S-413 46 Gothenburg, Sweden Trollfors Birger Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Gothenburg University, Guldhedsgatan 10 A, S-413 46 Gothenburg, Sweden Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Oxford University Press 38/5(1996-11), 849-852 0305-7453 38:5<849 1996 38 jac https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/38.5.849 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 brief-communication jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/38.5.849 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Lagergård Teresa Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Gothenburg University, Guldhedsgatan 10 A, S-413 46 Gothenburg, Sweden NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Frisk Anders Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Gothenburg University, Guldhedsgatan 10 A, S-413 46 Gothenburg, Sweden NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Trollfors Birger Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Gothenburg University, Guldhedsgatan 10 A, S-413 46 Gothenburg, Sweden NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Oxford University Press 38/5(1996-11), 849-852 0305-7453 38:5<849 1996 38 jac Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
