摘要：
The Etest was evaluated as a possible alternative to the standard agar dilution method for susceptibility testing of nine antimicrobial agents against Flavobacterium species. In studies of 100 clinical isolates, the agreement between the MICs (+/-1 log, dilution) obtained by the two methods was acceptable for cefotaxime, ceftazidime, amikacin, minocycline, ofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin (>90%). Conversely, the agreement between the results obtained for piperacillin was limited (84%). The overall agreement was 92.5%.
