Multicenter evaluation of the eQUANT system for use with disk diffusion AST of gram-negative bacteria directly from positive blood cultures [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Bloodstream infections frequently cause sepsis, a condition that can lead to organ dysfunction and death. Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results are critical for appropriate medical intervention and to either de-escalate or escalate ...

Comparative analysis of disk diffusion and microscan versus broth microdilution methods for determining antimicrobial susceptibility of cefepime and piperacillin-tazobactam in Escherichia coli isolates carrying blaOXA-1 [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
Routine susceptibility testing often misses resistance in blaOXA-1-producing E. coli, risking therapeutic failure. Among 165 clinical isolates from the Spanish multicenter cohort, MicroScan and disk diffusion versus reference broth microdilution yielded ...

Evaluation of errors during susceptibility reporting of glycopeptide antibiotics for enterococcal isolates on sole basis of widely used disk diffusion test

Healthcare in Low-resource Settings, 2022
In resource limited settings, very often susceptibility reports glycopeptide antibiotics are released only on the basis of disk diffusion test. Determination of MIC by either E-strips or microbroth dilution tests can be of paramount importance in ...
