Sir,

The recent article by Gosden et al. 1 prompted me to reflect on the widespread use of disc diffusion methods for determining antibiotic susceptibility that ignore an important finding of the definitive studies of Cooper 2 and Linton 3 on the formation of inhibition zones. These investigators showed . . . [Full Text of this Article]
