<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> and Colistin Susceptibility Testing: Performance Evaluation for Broth Microdilution, Agar Dilution and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Test Strips and Impact of the “Skipped Well” Phenomenon

<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> and Colistin Susceptibility Testing: Performance Evaluation for Broth Microdilution, Agar Dilution and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Test Strips and Impact of the “Skipped Well” Phenomenon

The emergence of multidrug resistant Gram-negative pathogens, particularly carbapenemase producers, has forced clinicians to use last line antibiotics, such as colistin. Since colistin susceptibility testing presents several challenges, this study aimed at evaluating the performance of two alternati...
