Abstract excerpt
Microdilution and the AutoMicrobic System (AMS) were compared with macrodilution for accuracy in detecting beta-lactam resistance in 16 isogenic pairs of gram-negative wild-type bacterial strains and mutant strains with derepressed class I beta-lactamase; an additional 12 gram-negative derepressed mutants were also tested. Of a total of 352 organism-beta-lactam combinations resulting in 840 determinations of...
