role of the reference laboratory in susceptibility testing of anaerobes and a survey of isolates referred from laboratories in england and wales during 1993-1994.	methods for susceptibility testing of anaerobes and their patterns of susceptibility remain debatable. the responsibilities of the public health laboratory service anaerobe reference unit include identification of referred isolates; development of methods; monitoring of the occurrence of anaerobic infections; performance of taxonomic studies; maintenance of a reference collection; and monitoring of the antibiotic susceptibility of clinical isolates. selection of antibiotics for anaerobic infecti ...	1995	7548547
the clinical importance of gram-positive anaerobic cocci isolated at st bartholomew's hospital, london, in 1987.	the clinical importance of the gram-positive anaerobic cocci (gpac) isolated in 1987 at st bartholomew's hospital, london, is assessed. of about 800 anaerobic isolates, 209 (27%) were gpac, of which 67 (32%) were from abscesses and 22 (11%) were in pure growth. four species comprised 77% of the 168 isolates available for study: peptostreptococcus magnus (55 isolates, 33%), p. micros (23, 14%), p. asaccharolyticus (24, 14%) p. asaccharolyticus (24, 14%) and p. anaerobius (27, 16%). different spec ...	1994	8006943
antibiotic susceptibilities of gram-positive anaerobic cocci: results of a sentinel study in england and wales.	a sentinel study was carried out to determine the antimicrobial susceptibilities of gram-positive anaerobic cocci (gpac) freshly isolated from clinical material in diagnostic laboratories in england and wales.	2003	12837734
