RESUMO

The standardized disk diffusion test, in which a 10-micrograms enoxacin disk is used, was performed and microbroth dilution MICs were determined to establish individual test control values with Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, and S. aureus ATCC 29213. In addition, regression analysis correlating inhibitory zone diameter with MICs for approximately 400 gram-negative clinical isolates was performed. Based on linear regression and error rate-bounded analyses, criteria for the category calls of isolates are proposed.
