Overview

Broth microdilution is a standard laboratory method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing that determines the minimum inhibitory concentration, the lowest concentration of an antibiotic or antifungal agent that prevents visible growth of a microorganism. The technique uses serial two-fold dilutions of the antimicrobial in a liquid growth medium, usually dispensed across the wells of a microtitre plate, which are then inoculated with a standardized suspension of the test organism and incubated. By identifying the dilution at which growth is inhibited, the method quantifies how susceptible or resistant a pathogen is and guides the choice of effective therapy. It is widely regarded as a reference method in clinical microbiology and antimicrobial-resistance surveillance. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to broth microdilution and susceptibility testing published in the International Journal of Antibiotic Research and related OpenAccessPub journals. On-topic work includes the in vitro activity of iclaprim against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus nonsusceptible to daptomycin, linezolid, or vancomycin, an antibiotic susceptibility study of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, and the antifungal susceptibility of dermatophytes, all of which depend on quantitative susceptibility testing of this kind. Together these articles reflect the central role of minimum-inhibitory-concentration testing in evaluating drug activity and tracking antimicrobial resistance.
