DIN 58940-83-2002《医用微生物学 病源细菌对化疗敏感性的试验 第83部分：微稀释法 对厌氧菌试验的特殊要求》

Together with DIN 58940-8, the document specifies the in vitro testing of the susceptibility of obligate anaerobic bacteria to antibiotics by broth dilution. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of obligate anaerobic bacteria, in particular the genera Bacteroides, Prevotella, Porphyromonas, Peptostreptococcus and Clostridium, is determined by microdilution; the aim is to obtain reproducible interlaboratory and comparable intralaboratory results. This reference method may also be used as a routine method.
