Abstract:
We have developed a modified cyclodextrin solid (MCS) medium using the selective antibiotic cefdinir. MCS medium exhibited higher sensitivity (95.6%; any culture-positive sample as reference) and greater inhibition of nasopharyngeal flora than did Bordet-Gengou agar (65.2%, P = 0.009) or cyclodextrin solid medium (39.1%, P < 0.001).
