Abstract
Brucella broth without supplementation is the recommended medium for broth microdilution susceptibility tests of Brucella abortus , B. melitensis , and B. suis . Based on an eight-laboratory collaborative study using a pH-adjusted modification of this medium, we propose MIC quality control ranges for three control strains against 10 antimicrobials that are potentially efficacious for treating infections caused by these agents of bioterrorism.Keywords
