Dr.T.V.Rao MD 2
Uses of Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing
Antibiotic sensitivity test: A laboratory test which determines how effective antibiotic therapy is against a bacterial infections.
Antibiotic sensitivity testing will control the use of Antibiotics in clinical practice
Testing will assist the clinicians in the choice of drugs for the treatment of infections.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 3
Why Need Continues for Testing Antibiotic
Sensitivity Bacteria have the
ability to develop resistance following repeated or subclinical (insufficient) doses, so more advanced antibiotics and synthetic antimicrobials are continually required to overcome them.
Antibiotic sensitivity testing is essential part of Medical Care
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 4
Routine Susceptibility Tests
Disk diffusion (Kirby Bauer)
Broth micro-dilution MIC NCCLS
reference method
Etest
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 5
Preparing for Testing
Inoculum preparation - Number of test organisms can be determined
using different methods:
Direct count (Microscopic examination) The optical density (OD) at 600 nm
(Spectrophotometry) Plate count: making dilution first Turbidity standard (McFarland)
routinely performed.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 6
Diffusion method
Put a filter disc, or a porous cup/a bottomless cylinder containing measured quantity of drugs on the a solid medium that has been seeded with test bacteria
Dilution method vary amount of antimicrobial substances
incorporated into liquid or solid media followed by inoculation of test bacteria
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
Susceptibility Testing Methods
InoculateMH plate
Place diskson agar plate
Incubate plate18-24 hr, 35 CMeasure and record zone of inhibition around each disk
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 8
Diffusion Method
Disc diffusion method : The Kirby-Bauer test Antibiotic-impregnated filter disc* Susceptibility test against more than one
antibiotics by measuring size of “inhibition zone ”
1949: Bondi and colleagues paper disks 1966: Kirby, Bauer, Sherris, and Tuck
filter paper disks Demonstrated that the qualitative
results of filter disk diffusion assay correlated well with quantitative results from MIC tests
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 9
Disc Diffusion Method
Procedure (Modified Kirby-Bauer method: National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. NCCLS) Prepare approximately. 108 CFU/ml bacterial
inoculum in a saline or tryptic soy broth tube (TSB) or Mueller-Hinton broth (5 ml) Pick 3-5 isolated colonies from plate Adjust the turbidity to the same as the
McFarland No. 0.5 standard.* Streak the swab on the surface of the Mueller-Hinton
agar (3 times in 3 quadrants) Leave 5-10 min to dry the surface of agar

Disc Diffusion Method
Place the appropriate drug-impregnated disc on the surface of the inoculated agar plate
Invert the plates and incubate them at 35 oC, o/n (18-24 h)
Measure the diameters of inhibition zone in mm

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 18
Disc Diffusion Method Measurement of the diameters of
inhibition zone Measure from the edge where the growth
stats, BUT there are three exceptions With sulfonamides and co-trimoxazole, ignore
slight growth within the zone Certain Proteus spp. may swarm into the area of
inhibition When beta-lactamase producing Streptococci are
tested, zone of inhibition are produced with a heaped-up, clearly defined edge, regardless of the size of the inhibition zone, they should be reported as resistant
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 19
Look at the Charts for establishing the zones of
Sensitivity
The zone sizes are looked up on a standardized chart to give a result of sensitive, resistant, or intermediate. Many charts have a corresponding column that also gives the MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) for that drug.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 20
Disc Diffusion MethodReporting the Results
Interpretation of results By comparing with the diameters with
“standard tables” Susceptible Intermediate susceptible
Low toxic antibiotics: Moderate susceptible
High toxic antibiotics: buffer zone btw resistant and susceptible
Resistant
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 21
Factors Affecting Size of Zone of Inhibition
Inoculum density
Timing of disc application
Temperature of incubation
Incubation time
Larger zones with light inoculum and vice versa
If after application of disc, the plate is kept for longer time at room temperature, small zones may form
Larger zones are seen with temperatures < 35 oC
Ideal 16-18 hours; less time does not give reliable results
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 22
Factors Affecting Size of Zone of Inhibition
Size of the plate
Depth of the agar medium (4 mm)
Proper spacing of the discs (2.5 cm)
Smaller plates accommodate less number of discs
Thin media yield excessively large inhibition zones and vice versa
Avoids overlapping of zones
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 23
Factors Affecting Size of Zone of Inhibition
Potency of antibiotic discs
Composition of medium
Acidic pH of medium
Alkaline pH of medium
Reading of zones
Deterioration in contents leads to reduced size
Affects rate of growth, diffusion of antibiotics and activity of antibiotics
Tetracycline, novobiocin, methicillin zones are larger
Aminoglycosides, erythromycin zones are larger
Subjective errors in determining the clear edge
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 24
Quality Assurance in Antibiotic Susceptibility
Testing
Visit - WHO-Regional Office for South East Asia website Medium: Mueller-Hinton agar plates
Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212 or 33l86) and a disc of co-trimoxazole 20 mm in diameter of the inhibition zone
Procedure: Modified Kirby-Bauer method recommended by National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Services (NCCLS)
Susceptibility test with quality control strains
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 25
Quality Assurance in Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing with
Control strains Susceptibility test with
quality control strains for every new batch of
Mueller-Hinton agar Staphylococcus
aureus (ATCC 25923)
Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922)

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 26
Quality Assurance in Antibiotic Susceptibility Test
Salient features of quality control Use antibiotic discs of 6 mm diameter Use correct content of antimicrobial
agent per disc Store supply of antimicrobial discs
at -20 oC Use Mueller-Hinton medium for
antibiotic sensitivity determination Use appropriate control cultures Use standard methodology for the
test

Day 3Determine CFU on plates:At 16 mg/ = 700 CFU/ml > 0.1% of 5*105 CFU/ml
MBC = 32 mg/l
34
Broth Dilution Method
100% of original bacterial conc. = 5*105 CFU/ml
0.1% = [(5*105)*0.1]/100 CFU/ml = 500 CFU/ml
The bacteria count should be less than 5 CFU on agar plate subcultured with 0.01 ml 500*0.01 = 5 CFU
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 35

The gradient technique, Etest®
Etest is a well established AST method in microbiology laboratories around the world. The Etest technique comprises a predefined gradient of antibiotic concentrations on a plastic strip, and can be used to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of antibiotics, antifungal agents and antimycobacterial agents.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 49
E test – MIC Reports are helpful in Critical
management decisions
Quantitative MIC data is a prerequisite for the management of critical infections, including sepsis, especially among critical care patients. Etest is particularly valuable in such situations, when on-scale MICs are needed for treatment decisions.

Serum Susceptibility Tests
To determine drug concentration in the patient’s serum = MIC*SIT The Serum Inhibitory Titer (SIT)
The highest dilution of patient’s serum that inhibit bacteria
To determine the ability of drug in the patient’s serum to kill bacteria The Serum Bactericidal Level (SBL)
The lowest dilution of patient’s serum that kills bacteria
Technically Demanding
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 54
Antibiotic Sensitivity testing can be done with
automation
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 55
VITEK 2 Automates Reporting of Resistance
Integrated in the VITEK 2 system is the Advanced Expert System (AES™), a software which validates and interprets susceptibility test results, and detects antibiotic resistance mechanisms. The AES Expert System is the most developed software system in this field, and is capable of identifying even emerging and low-level resistance.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 56
Each laboratory should have a staff member
with the time, interest, and expertise to provide leadership in antibiotic testing and resistance. This person would read relevant publications, network with other laboratories, and evaluate potentially useful tests to detect new forms of resistance before new CLSI-recommended tests become available”
