  2. Double-disk diffusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-disk_diffusion_test

    This is called a D-zone test, or D test. If a 'D' shape is formed around the clindamycin disk (distinguished from a circular zone of inhibition) then the isolate is reported as resistant to clindamycin. [5] This occurs due to erythromycin inducing the bacteria's erm gene, and thus making it resistant to clindamycin (MLS-B phenotype). [6] [7]

  3. Antibiotic sensitivity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_sensitivity_testing

    This type of test is considered a diffusion test. [18] In agar and broth dilution methods, bacteria are placed in multiple small tubes with different concentrations of antibiotics. [14] Whether a bacterium is sensitive or not is determined by visual inspection or automatic optical methods, after a period of incubation. [5]

  4. Disk diffusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_diffusion_test

    The disk diffusion test (also known as the agar diffusion test, Kirby–Bauer test, disc-diffusion antibiotic susceptibility test, disc-diffusion antibiotic sensitivity test and KB test) is a culture-based microbiology assay used in diagnostic and drug discovery laboratories. In diagnostic labs, the assay is used to determine the susceptibility ...

  5. Mueller–Hinton agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mueller–Hinton_agar

    Mueller Hinton agar is commonly used in the disk diffusion method, which is a simple and widely used method for testing the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to antibiotics. In this method, small disks impregnated with different antibiotics are placed on the surface of the agar, and the zone of inhibition around each disk is measured to ...

  6. Erythromycin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythromycin

    Erythromycin is an antibiotic used for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. [1] This includes respiratory tract infections , skin infections , chlamydia infections , pelvic inflammatory disease , and syphilis . [ 1 ]

  7. Antimicrobial resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_resistance

    Ribosome splitting and recycling: for example, drug-mediated stalling of the ribosome by lincomycin and erythromycin unstalled by a heat shock protein found in Listeria monocytogenes, which is a homologue of HflX from other bacteria. Liberation of the ribosome from the drug allows further translation and consequent resistance to the drug.

  9. Erythromycin breath test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythromycin_breath_test

    The erythromycin breath test (ERMBT) is a method used to measure metabolism (oxidation and elimination from the system) by a part of the cytochrome P450 system. [1] Erythromycin produces 14 CO 2, and this 14 CO 2 can be measured to study drugs that interact with the cytochrome P450 system.
