Comparison of VITEK(®) 2, three different gradient strip tests and broth microdilution for detecting vanB-positive Enterococcus faecium isolates with low vancomycin MICs
OBJECTIVES: In 2018, EUCAST issued a warning regarding unreliable results of gradient strip tests for confirming vancomycin resistance in enterococci. We compared the performance of various diagnostic standard and confirmatory tests to identify and determine vanB-type vancomycin resistance. METHODS:...
