This investigation compares minimum inhibitory concentration measurements by three antimicrobic dilution methods for Pseudomonas aeruginosa versus seven antimicrobics. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were measured for 650 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates and for repeated tests with P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 versus gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, netilmicin, sisomicin, carbenicillin, and ticarcillin, using the macro-broth, micro-broth, and agar dilution methods. For all antimicrobics, it was found that the micro-broth and agar dilution methods produced comparable minimum inhibitory concentration measurements, which were found to lie 1 to 2 double dilution steps below those determined by the macro-broth method. Acceptably replicability was found for both the macro-broth and the agar dilution methods. The micro-broth method showed less replicability, with 4.7% of minimum inhibitory concentration values lying +/- 2 or more double dilution steps from the modal value. It is important to recognize such differences if micro-broth or agar dilution methods are substituted for the macro-broth method.
