The stability of eight antimicrobial agents in WILKENS-CHALGREN broth was evaluated. The activities of only carbenicillin and benzyl penicillin were significantly decreased after storage for eight weeks at -20°C. Anaerobic reduction of the susceptibility testing broth prior to inoculation was found to be unnecessary.
