Zone Diameter (mm) Interpretation
17 Susceptible (S) 15-16 Intermediate (I) 14 Resistant (R) Interpretation should be as stated above for results using dilution techniques. Interpretation involves correlation of the diameter obtained in the disk test with the MIC for nitrofurantoin. As with standardized dilution techniques, diffusion methods require the use of laboratory control microorganisms that are used to control the technical aspects of the laboratory procedures. For the diffusion technique, the 300 µg nitrofurantoin disk should provide the following zone diameters in these laboratory test quality control strains: Text Continues Below
