Evaluation of the MicroScan Colistin Well and Gradient Diffusion Strips for Colistin Susceptibility Testing in Enterobacteriaceae

Colistin Susceptibility Testing Using the MicroScan® Colistin Well

Colistin susceptibility testing: time for a review.

respectively, relative to the S. maltophilia strain IAM 1566 protein) (Figure 1). S. maltophilia is a Gram-negative bacterium found in a variety of environments, including soil, water and plants, and is therefore a potential reservoir of the MBL gene. Similar to POM-1 and L1 MBLs, the ability of the PAM-1 enzyme to hydrolyse carbapenems might be relatively low; consequently, the PAM-1-positive ...

Colistin and Polymyxin B Susceptibility Testing for Carbapenem-Resistant and mcr-Positive Enterobacteriaceae: Comparison of Sensititre, MicroScan, Vitek 2, and Etest with Broth Microdilution.

Colistin and polymyxin B remain part of the last line of antibiotics for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae Current joint EUCAST-CLSI recommendations are for broth microdilution (BMD) to be performed for MIC testing of colistin. Commercial susceptibility testing methods were evaluated and compared against the reference BMD, using a suscep...
