Article Synopsis
- Colistin is a crucial last-resort antibiotic for treating multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria, but traditional susceptibility testing methods may not be reliable due to the antibiotic's large size.
- This study modified Muller-Hinton agar by reducing its concentration and adding protamine, resulting in improved diffusion of colistin for more accurate testing.
- The new method demonstrated high performance, with 94.7% sensitivity and 100% specificity, making it a promising option for clinical microbiology labs, though care is advised in its application.
