Evaluation of Agar Dilution Method in Susceptibility Testing of Polymyxins for Enterobacteriaceae and Non-Fermentative Rods: Advantages Compared to Broth Microdilution and Broth Macrodilution
An accurate and reliable susceptibility testing method for polymyxins is urgently needed not only for the clinical laboratory but also for new polymyxin-like lipopeptide development. Reference broth microdilution (rBMD), which was the recommended method by CLSI-EUCAST in clinics, has been proven not...

description | An accurate and reliable susceptibility testing method for polymyxins is urgently needed not only for the clinical laboratory but also for new polymyxin-like lipopeptide development. Reference broth microdilution (rBMD), which was the recommended method by CLSI-EUCAST in clinics, has been proven not to be ideal, while the agar dilution (AD) method that was widely used in new antibiotics discovery has been neglected. In the present study, the AD method was compared with rBMD and broth macrodilution (BMAD) in susceptibility testing of polymyxin B and colistin against >200 Gram-negative isolates. AD showed strong agreement with BMAD for colistin (except for Klebsiella aerogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa); however, its performance was poor for polymyxin B or compared to rBMD. MICs of AD method were not affected when different types of Petri dishes were used, while glass-bottom microtiter plates could lower the MIC of polymyxins 2–8 times compared to tissue-culture-treated polystyrene plates when using rBMD, which demonstrated that tissue-culture-treated plates were not suitable. It was then validated with non-tissue-culture-treated plates. The culture volume was another influencing factor of accuracy for rBMD, and 200 μL seemed to be the most suitable volume for MIC detection of polymyxins. Additionally, no lack of growth phenomenon (skipped well) was observed for AD when it frequently occurred for both BMAD and rBMD. As for strains carrying mcr-1 gene, 100% of AD results were in essential agreement (EA) and categorical agreement (CA) with both rBMD and BMAD. Overall, rBMD is convenient and widely accepted for susceptibility testing of polymyxins. Although it may be too early to say that AD is superior compared to rBMD and BMAD, it did show some advantages in repeatability and anti-interference ability. |
