Abstract
Sensitivity disc containing 50mcg of lividomycin (LVM) was investigated comparing with that of streptomycin using 60 strains of bacteria isolated from urinary tract.
Better results of disc sensitivity tests were obtainedfrom quantitative dilution method with preliminary diffusion than conventional method in LVM.
Reproducibility of LVM disc sensitivity tests were also higher in quantitative dilution method with preliminarydiffusion than in conventional method.
Correlations between MIC values by the streak plate method and diameters of inhibition zones by the disc method were affected by the method of measuring MIC with streak plate method.
