Unreliability of Disc Diffusion Test for Screening for Reduced Penicillin Susceptibility in Neisseria meningitidis

The 2-U penicillin and 1-μg oxacillin discs proposed for screening meningococci for susceptibility to penicillin were evaluated by using MICs measured by the E test. The discs yielded unacceptably high frequencies of misclassification of susceptibility category and should be abandoned in favor of MI...
