Agar-Dilution Is Comparable to Broth Dilution for MIC Determination in Streptococcus agalactiae
Agar-dilution is a valid method for high-throughput AMR surveillance of retrospective cohorts (96 isolates per plate) and is critical for identifying emerging GBS resistance trends and informing therapeutic guidelines. However, due to the large number of plates required per antimicrobial, it is impractical for routine clinical diagnostics.
