Antimicrobial susceptibility Scheme: methods used to determine antimicrobial susceptibilities in clinical isolates. We are in the process of modifying the information reported in the antimicrobial susceptibility scheme. We would be most grateful if you could complete the mini questionnaire to collate the methods used and guidelines followed when examining isolates for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). This information will be illustrated in the overall report available after each distribution replacing the disk diffusion information where applicable. Please provide your Laboratory ID No: *Question 1:Which guidelines and version number does your laboratory follow to interpret the antimicrobial susceptibility in this EQA? Question 2:What method (s) is employed to perform the AST? Please tick all applicable Disk diffusionMIC gradientBroth microdilution Semi-automated system Other If you are using a semi-automated system please specify the model type. Please tick all applicablei. VITEK (any model) ii. Phoenixiii. Microscaniv. Other (please state)Question 3:What is the main method used for AST with pathogens isolated from: a. Blood cultures: b.
