[Conditions influencing the activity of fosfomycin in vitro (author's transl)]. 1979

R Haag, and W Vömel

The determination of the antibacterial activity of fosfomycin in vitro is most suitably carried out in serial dilution tests on Mueller-Hinton agar. In this, the reproducibility of the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) is the best and is the least dependent on the size of the inoculum. In addition, there is no "skip-tube" effect with this method of determination. The reproducibility of the MIC values increases for several bacterial species on addition of glucose-6-phosphate and at the same time the inhibitory values are lower. If human urine is used as the nutrient medium, the inhibitory values of fosfomycin increase for many species. The action of the antibiotic is not reduced on addition of human blood to the Mueller-Hinton agar.

D001419	Bacteria	One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive.	Eubacteria
