Evaluation of colistin susceptibility by four phenotypic methods compared to broth microdilution in multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
This study highlights the benefits of alternative phenotypic methods compared to reference BMD for assessing colistin susceptibility, including ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and rapid results. Our findings emphasize the need for more comprehensive multicenter studies to validate and improve these methods, especially those with more isolates with MIC values near the breakpoint.
