Fosfomycin Etest for Enterobacteriaceae: Interobserver and interlaboratory agreement
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents(2018)
Abstract
•Most fosfomycin Etests show growth of macrocolonies in the inhibition zone.•Etest observations significantly underestimate the MIC of fosfomycin compared with the reference standard agar dilution.•Fosfomycin Etest has low interobserver-interlaboratory agreement.•Higher agreement for E. coli compared with other Enterobacteriaceae.•Ignoring all growth in the inhibition zone might improve Etest performance.
