Comparison of the AMS gram-negative susceptibility flex panel GNS-V and agar disk diffusion for testing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

摘要

Sixty Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were tested by the agar disk diffusion, AMS Vitek GNS-V flex panel (Vitek Systems, Inc., Hazelwood, Mo.), and agar dilution methods. Although the results of aminoglycoside tests were satisfactory, those of piperacillin and cefoperazone by Vitek GNS-V (T2.05 program) were not acceptable.
