A clinically relevant reinterpretation of disk approximation testing for inducible AmpC in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Our reinterpretation criterion for disk approximation test turns a phenotypic assay into a clinically relevant diagnostic tool to avoid errors in ceftazidime susceptibility reports. Moreover, this interpretation is readily applicable in routine microbiology laboratories, and has the potential to be directly useful for antimicrobial stewardship efforts.
