Reliability of the E-Test Method for Detection of Colistin Resistance in Clinical Isolates of <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>

1 Feb 2005

Abstract excerpt

We compared the E-test to the broth microdilution method for testing the susceptibility of 115 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii to colistin. Twenty-two (19.1%) strains were resistant to colistin and 93 (80.8%) strains were susceptible according to the reference broth microdilution method. A categorical agreement of 98.2% was found, with only two (1.7%) very major errors. Agreement within 1 twofold...
