Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of mycoplasmas by ATP bioluminescence

D. I. Limb, P. F. Wheat, J. G. Hastings and R. C. Spencer
Department of Bacteriology, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield.

The susceptibility of 72 mycoplasmas to a range of antimicrobial agents was assessed in a 6-h ATP bioluminescence system. ATP was assayed with the Amerlite Analyser. Correlation with conventionally determined MICs was excellent for erythromycin and tetracycline even at 3 h. However, for ciprofloxacin, correlation was poor unless incubation was extended to 6 h.
