A multilaboratory study was undertaken to reassess the amount of calcium and magnesium that should be added to Mueller-Hinton broth when testing Pseudomonas aeruginosa against amikacin, gentamicin, isepamicin, netilmicin, and tobramycin. To achieve parity with agar dilution tests, cation-adjusted broth should contain 20 to 25 mg of calcium and 10 to 12.5 mg of magnesium per liter rather than the 50- and 25-mg/liter supplements recommended previously. For quality control of tests with contemporary media, MIC control limits should be adjusted by lowering the current MIC limits by at least 1 doubling-dilution interval.
