Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Evaluating the performance of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) disk diffusion (DD) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) gradient methods for tigecycline susceptibility testing of enterococci using broth microdilution (BMD) as the reference method. METHODS: All 83 Nordic clinical microbiology laboratories were invited to test a blinded collection of diverse...
