Antimicrobial susceptibility testing using Vitek® 2 (bioMérieux) cards inoculated directly from positive blood cultures was compared with the standard method for gramnegative rods. Two different protocols for the inoculum preparation were evaluated. Protocol 2 was faster and easier to perform. Ra...

BACKGROUND: There is marked interest in using DNA based methods to detect antimicrobial resistance (AMR) with targeted polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approaches increasingly being incorporated into clinical care. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) could offer significant advantages over targeted PCR ...
