ABSTRACT
The performance of agar diffusion tests using disks of cefuroxine (30 micrograms) for predicting ceftriaxone susceptibility in 33 isolates of "Streptococcus pneumoniae"was studied. All 7 resistant isolates to ceftriaxone (MIC>= 1.0 microgram/ml) exhibited zones of inhibition < 28 mm. The procedure can be easily adapted to clinical laboratories.
