Susceptibility testing of Rhodococcus equi: An interlaboratory test

Biosynthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles: A thymbra spicataL extract approach and study of their antibacterial and antifungal activity

“…A test tube containing the culture medium and inoculated microbe without extract as a positive control and a test tube containing the culture medium with the dilution of 25 mg/mL of extract without bacteria as a negative control were also prepared. Finally, all test tubes were incubated at 37 °C for bacteria and 28°C for fungi for 24-48 h. After incubation, each tube was examined for turbidity resulting from the growth of microorganisms and the lowest concentration that did not show any visible growth of microorganisms was determined as the MIC [18]. In order to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal effects of silver nanoparticles, well diffusion methods and MIC determination were used.…”

A Novel Screening Strategy Reveals ROS-Generating Antimicrobials That Act Synergistically against the Intracellular Veterinary Pathogen Rhodococcus equi

“…In order to produce a clinically relevant analysis of the combined effect of norfloxacin with any of the other ROS-generating antimicrobials tested, we calculated the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of different combinations of antibiotics following the guidelines of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute [10,21,29] (Table 1). We first established the MIC of individual antibacterial compounds (Table 1).…”
