Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of animal isolates of Clostridium difficile by broth microdilution.

Antimicrobial susceptibility to 30 antimicrobial agents of 31 C. difficile isolates from pigs, calves, dogs and a horse was examined. The method was broth microdilution on commercially available plates for monitoring resistance of anaerobic and Gram-positive bacteria. All tested isolates were inhibited by concentrations that did not exceed 0.5 µg/ml for vancomycin and 1 µg/ml for metronidazole. E-test was performed for further determination of MICs. The results of two methods were agreeable for all but one strain. The broth microdilution method in this study showed as reproducible and reliable
