A new semi-solid agar dilution method for determining amoxycillin, clarithromycin and azithromycin MICs for Helicobacter pylori isolates

The MICs of amoxycillin, clarithromycin and azithromycin for 26 strains of Helicobacter pylori were determined using Mueller-Hinton semi-solid agar (SSA) without CO2 incubation, as in the conventional agar dilution method. The tested H. pylori strains grew satisfactorily in the SSA method within 48 h of incubation. Reasonable values of MICs of three antibiotics for these strains were obtained by this method, avoiding the inactivation of macrolides due to acidification of the medium. By this method, the MICs of the antibiotics for the reference strains were within the acceptable NCCLS ranges for quality control.
